This weekend Charlotte Church turns 18 and will be able to get her hands on her multi-million pound fortune.
But the singer claims she doesn't need lots of money at the moment, and plans just to buy a car and have a couple of birthday parties.
So how would you spend Charlotte's millions?
Massive spending spree or keep it in the bank?
Would you blow it all in one go and buy a local football team or maybe a small island?
Whatever you'd do with the cash e-mail and let us know!
