Cheryl was a dancer and model prior to becoming a member of the record-breaking European pop group Girls Aloud. As a youngster, she won several modeling competitions and appeared in commercials, but she made her biggest leap in 2002, when she auditioned for Popstars: The Rivals and was selected to join Girls Aloud, a group that went on to release 19 Top Ten U.K. singles within a matter of a few years. She has become one of UK's highest-profile celebrity, thanks in part to her role as a judge on British singing competition, X Factor, whose weekly audience swelled to 14 million viewers after she joined the cast.

The Girls Aloud singer, earns at least £500,000 from The X Factor and about the same as a face of Coca-Cola Zero. Her second solo album, Messy Little Raindrops, ended just outside the UK's top 20 for the year. In 2010 Cheryl Cole, saw her fortune soar by a massive 150%  – from 2009's £4 million to  £10 million. Cole was born Cheryl Ann Tweedy on 30 June 1983 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England and grew up on council estates in the districts of Walker and Heaton.
