Ever wonder what you’d do with a sudden big chunk of money? We’re seeing that scenario play out with Ella Langley, who’s income has risen astronomically in the last few years thanks to her career exploding. The singer purchased a lakefront home in her home state of Alabama, near where her parents live. Langley says the property will serve as a safe space when she needs a break from her “rock star” life in Tennessee. “It just brings me back to who I am at the root of me every time I go back there. And when it comes to writing songs and being in that state of mind, I think it’s important to have a place like that,” she explained. That’s not been her only expenditure, however. She splurged on a July 4th Hawaii getaway for her and her sister, and is sinking money back into her career, hoping to add another band-member and her own tour bus.
