Kylie Minogue, Harry Kewell in rich list

April 29th, 2008 admin

AUSSIE pop princess Kylie Minogue and Socceroos star Harry Kewell have joined the elite group of Britain’s richest people.

While their personal wealth is dwarfed by the £27.7 billion ($57.8 billion) fortune of Indian-born steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, who remains the wealthiest person in Britain according to the latest Sunday Times newspaper’s annual Rich List, they are still doing quite nicely.

Minogue’s fortune is estimated at £40 million ($83.46 million), securing her 1794th spot in the Rich List’s top 2000 earners.

“From her days as Charlene in the Australian soap Neighbours, when she was paid just £150 (now $313) per episode, Minogue, 39, has graduated to become one of the world’s richest female singers,” the newspaper said.

“Minogue’s finances are in good order. Her company, Darenote, paid her £1.8 million ($3.76 million) in 2006. With her tours and recordings, she is worth £40 million ($83.46 million).”

Kewell, who plays for English Premier League club Liverpool, clinched equal ninth spot in a list of the top earners in Britain aged under 30.

Australian pop princes Kylie Minogue has abandoned plans to crack the US market after her latest attempt failed.

The furious singer told a pal, “I gave it my best shot. I won’t try again.”

Kylie, 39, has only had two top ten hits in the US, The Locomotion in 1988 and Can’t Get You Out Of My Head in 2002.

Earlier this month, she appeared on The Today Show, Dancing With The Stars, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Late Late Show to promote the US release of her album X. But the record failed, debuting outside the top 100, coming in at #139 on the Billboard 200 with sales of just 6,000 copies.
