Interesting to see who has what...
Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour have all fought off the recession and will be listed in The Sunday Times’ 2010 Music Rich List published this Sunday.
As usual, music executives top the list, but Sir Paul and Sir Mick placed impressively in the top ten. Jagger’s estimated fortune of £190m ranks him at No.7, while his Stones’ partner, Keith Richards, ranks at No.10 with £175m.
1. Edgar Bronfman and family (£1,640 million)
2. Clive Calder (£1,300 million)
3. Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber (£700 million)
4. Sir Cameron Mackintosh (£635 million)
5. Sir Paul McCartney (£475 million)
6. Simon Fuller (£350 million) -I wonder how much is from American Idol, and the UK equivalent?
7. Sir Mick Jagger (£190 million)
8. Sir Elton John (£185 million)
9. Sting (£180 million)
10. Keith Richards (£175 million)
11. Simon Cowell (£165 million)
12. Olivia and Dhani Harrison (£160 million)
13. Jamie Palumbo (£150 million)
14. David and Victoria Beckham (£145 million)

17. Sir Tom Jones (£135 million)
18. Eric Clapton (£125 million)
19. Roger Ames (£120 million)
20. Barry and Robin Gibb (£110 million)
Some rock notables who didn’t make the Top 20 include:
26= Roger Waters (£85m)
26= Charlie Watts (£85m)
29. Robert Plant (£80m)

33= Jimmy Page (£75m)

Asking myself when we can call Clapton a Sir.

Loved his autobiography. It was a great read and for Clapton it was very open.
