TWAIN: 'MY WEALTH IS A BURDEN'

Country star SHANIA TWAIN hates the trappings of her success, and wishes she was impoverished instead.

The sexy singer has made millions from an ultra-successful solo career - reportedly $57 million (£30 million) from concert ticket sales this year (04) alone - but she sees the money she makes as a burden.

Twain explains, "Money is a burden. All anybody needs is enough to eat and have a roof over their heads.

"Any more than that is a stress. My son is going to have money, and he's going to be stressed."
