Rita Ora is 'not bothered' about making money.

The 'Party (How We Do)' singer has enjoyed three number one singles in a row in the UK and keeps a busy performance schedule, but has no idea how much wealth her success has brought her.

When asked if she has made lots of money from her fame, she replied: 'I'm not bothered about that now, I leave it to my management to deal with. I'm just trying to keep getting the number ones and enjoy myself at the same time.'

When the royalty money does come in, Rita, 21, hopes to buy a house for herself, and wants to make sure it's close enough to her parents' home - but far enough away for her to keep her independence.

She added: 'The first thing I'd want to buy would be to buy my own house, I'd love to keep living in London, I used to live in Portobello with my parents, so maybe Notting Hill Gate, to go up the hill a bit. I'd live to live on my own.'

Although Rita - who was born in Kosovo, but moved to the UK when she was one - is signed to US label Roc Nation and always splitting her time between the US and England, she has no plans to move countries.

She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: 'I have a flat in London that I live at when I'm there, but I'm travelling around all the time. I love Los Angeles and New York, but I wouldn't want to move there now, maybe in a few years, but right now I love London, I'm very happy here.

'I also loved Toronto and Miami. We went to the dance music conference there, it was mad.'

Rita's debut album, 'Ora' is released today (27.08.12).
