Olly Murs may be worth an estimated £5 million but he pays himself a salary similar to that of his friends as he is terrified of losing everything.
The Wrapped Up hitmaker told the Daily Mirror, "I've given myself a salary recently, because I think it's important. For the first two years I was like, 'Yeah I'll buy that and this. Mum, what do you want? I'll get it for you.'
"But then you watch shows like The Big Reunion and it opens your eyes to realise that this can all go so quickly, and you've got to be wise with your money."
He added, "My worst fear is losing everything. I've bought my own house, I've got a lovely car, I've got brilliant friends and family. If I lost all that it would be devastating and down to my stupidity.
"I've got mates in different jobs to me, and they're not on the same amount of money as me. So I don't want to be like a big time Charlie. I've never been that kind of person, I always like us all to be on an equal playing field."
