The Sunday Times Rich List has arrived, revealing the most filthy rich musicians in the UK.

Lord Lloyd-Webber and Sir Paul McCartney are tied at the top with £800 million each. Sir Elton John, Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Ringo Starr, Ed Sheeran and more also appear in the top 10 for musicians.

Most notably, Rihanna makes her debut on the list with a cool £468 million. Rihanna’s strong entry can be largely attributed to her Fenty Beauty product line, which launched in 2017. Also, her Savage X Fenty lingerie line, which followed in 2018. And let’s not forget endorsements on Instagram.

She also continues to pull in royalties from her chart-topping hits including “SOS,” “Umbrella, “Needed Me,” and so many more.

Calvin Harris, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Robert Plant, Adele and more appear within the top 40.

Calvin Harris at 16 with approximately $220 million.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
