Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is convinced that she was "making too much" money as a child star.

The 27-year-old actress admitted to Oprah Winfrey that her problems began after she found fame as a child, reported Contactmusic.

"I wasted so much money; I was living at a hotel, and I had an apartment. I wasn't really being guided. I didn't think about it, and I didn't listen to my family when they told me, 'Come back to New York,'" she said.
