Looking back, Cherylin Sarkis can say she has achieved it all. Who had a complicated childhood, with a father of Armenian origin who drank more than necessary and quickly disappeared from the scene and a mother who moved constantly and who changed husbands like shirts, was generously rewarded by life thanks to a personality unique and a challenging attitude that, at a very young age, opened the doors to success for him. Her unique voice, her great talent as an actress, and her ability to connect with the audience led her to success in music, film, and television, amassing along the way a fortune that is today estimated at around $337. millions of euros.
He has also won all kinds of awards: the Grammy, the Oscar, the Golden Globe and the Emmy, and has surpassed the record of 100 million albums sold. And yet, she who is popularly known as Cher has no intention of staying still. While she puts the finishing touches on a memoir she has been working on for some time, she has started again from scratch with a project to bring her life to film. And in the next few days, his 27th studio album, Christmas, will arrive in stores around the world, which will be made up of Christmas songs, and in which he has tried something new, doing duets with figures such as Michel Bublé, Cindy Lauper, Darlene Love, Stevie Wonder and Tyga.
But in addition, Cher has recently launched her own line of ice cream, which she distributes in a unique way, with a truck that parks at the exit of concerts or important corners in Los Angeles and that offers golden cones and unusual flavors with names inspired by her songs. Appropriately named Cherlato, the truck went into operation at the end of July and has so far received rave reviews, particularly as the manufacturing techniques have been provided by Giapo, a successful New Zealand company run by Italians Gianpaolo Grazioli. and Annarosa Petrucci.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the star explained: “I’ve loved ice cream for as long as I can remember. You can find photos of me eating it in every corner of the world, and this is the best I’ve ever had. Who would have thought I would find it in New Zealand? While I was there developing flavors I ate my weight in ice cream. I love chocolate, but people like avocado, which doesn’t appeal too much to me. I am much simpler. The truth is that when I saw the golden cones I went crazy. “I wanted to use them as pendants.”
For now, finding the truck is not easy. When there are no concerts, he can be found only a few days a week, from noon until seven or eight in the evening. It offers only six flavors, such as Cher’s Mom’s Cheesecake, Breakfast at Cher’s and Venice Sensations, made with mango combined with tejín and chamoy, two spicy Mexican flavors. Prices start at 6.50 euros for a cup with a scoop and go up to 23.45 euros for a golden cone with two scoops, covered with toppings. The main business, however, appears to be the sale of merchandising, which includes Cherlato t-shirts at 32 euros, aprons and hats at 28 euros, and bags with the brand’s logo at 23 euros.
The ice cream business seems to be more of a hobby than a big business venture, but the diva hopes to close a sale that could make her immensely richer. This is his mansion in Malibu, on the north coast of Los Angeles, for which he is asking the modest sum of 70 million euros, although when he put it up for sale in October last year the price was almost 80. In the interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the music icon explained of her decision to leave: “I’ve been here forever. I built this house a long time ago, but I want to be flexible. And one cannot be one in this house, no matter how much one loves it.” If the sale is completed, the profits from it would be considerable. Cher only paid 2.76 million euros for the land in 1989.
As much as life seems to smile at you, you also have to deal with serious problems. His youngest son, singer Elijah Blue Allman, 47, who publicly confessed to his heroin addiction, is a constant source of headaches. His daughter-in-law, Marieangela King, who is also a musician, has filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles courts accusing him of having been behind the kidnapping of her husband from a New York hotel, where they both stayed for twelve days. to try to save their relationship.
According to the legal document that is part of a divorce trial, King declared in December of last year that four men paid by Cher took Elijah, as a result of her relationship with Gregg Allman, a member of the Allman Brothers, who died in 2017, and that I had not heard from him since. For now, the diva has chosen not to comment on the issue, but as attorney Christopher C. Melcher assured Fox News, there are hardly any legal consequences for what clearly appears to be a family intervention, since Elijah has been hospitalized in recent times to recover from his addiction.
