Amanda Bynes had made millions of dollars from her role in television shows and movies but a few months ago, she demanded total access to her money so she could spend it, Radar Online reported.

The 27-year-old gained control of her finances despite the fact that her parents had intended to save her earnings for when she got older.

According to a source, Bynes' parents and lawyers controlled her money when she was younger, putting it into investments. Although the Easy A star had asserted previously that she made as much as the Olsen twins, in reality she is worth millions less.

“Amanda knows she has a lot of money. Before she wasn’t restricted from getting to it, but a lot of it was tied up in investments and banked for her future," said a source, "but she insisted that she be able to use all of it as she sees fit and there is nothing anyone can do to stop her from spending it all."

Bynes has recently been showing strange behaviors, such as shaving half of her head, tweeting bizarre messages to fans, smoking marijuana and talking to herself in public. The actress claims she has no contact with her parents, but sources report they want to help though at the moment they feel powerless.
