Buying a penthouse in New York, living at one with nature on an island in the South Pacific, spending our days shopping with the pension we earned as a top executive of some high-flying company… we all dream of different things for retirement, that’s one thing that’s for sure.
But Tulisa outdoes all our dreams.
The ‘X-Factor’ judge has revealed that all she wants to do when she retires is move to Ibiza, fair enough, and, eh-hem, adopt a pet tiger… okay then.
The 24-year-old celebrated her birthday on the Spanish party island earlier this summer. Now she wants to move there when she decides to take a step back from the limelight and spend her time training the tiger and learning to cook.

She told the Daily Star newspaper: “Ibiza is my favourite place in the world.
“When I retire, I want to buy a home there.
“I want to get a tiger, learn to play the guitar and be a top chef, so I’m going to be pretty busy when I’m old.
“I’d train the tiger from a cub, and then pray it didn’t eat me.”
You’d need more than prayers to stop him eating you Tulisa…
The ‘Young’ singer revealed she chose the island as her ideal place to live because she loves visiting there every summer and she said it is the one place she can relax and party with her friends.
Tulisa shows off her body as she sun-tans on the island of Ibiza this year.
She explained: “I chose Ibiza because it’s always the best thing about summer.
“When I think of summer, I immediately think Ibiza. That’s where we really live it up.”
But are you going to want that in retirement Tulisa?
Tulisa also announced lately that she wants to single-handedly change the “celebrity” stereotype, as she believes most celebrities are “fake”.
She really makes us wonder…
