Kelly Clarkson said that she is financially set more than two years ago and couldn't have worked to pursue money anymore.
Kelly Clarkson has boasted she never needs to work again. The first 'American Idol' winner - who fired her manager Jeff Kwatinetz last month - claims she was rich enough to retire two years ago.
Kelly, 25, bragged to Reader's Digest magazine: "I have saved and saved, and I don't have to work another day. When I won 'Idol' and started working with a business manager, she asked, 'What do you want?' I told her I don't ever want to have to make a decision because I need money. So we accomplished that two years ago, and I'm set."
The 'Miss Independent' singer recently fell out with 75-year-old Clive Davis, the Chief Executive of her record label RCA, because he didn't like the songs she had chosen for her latest album 'My December'. Kelly said: "I just want people to hear it, instead of 100-year old executives making decisions on what's good for pop radio. It's people my age who listen to it. My gut hasn't been wrong yet, so why wouldn't I continue to follow it?"
"They hated 'Miss Independent' on my first album. It was number one for six weeks, then they got behind it. They hated 'Breakaway'. The song I wrote that they hated the most was 'Because of You'. I fought and fought for it, it became successful and they finally got behind it. I'm not complaining, I'll just say no until I get my way, and I did."
