The Wiggles and Kylie Minogue Top Aussie Rich List

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 06:28:43 +1000

The Wiggles made $45 million last year. Kylie Minogue added another $40 million to her vast fortune.

BRW has announced the top 10 rich list for Australian entertainers and there were a few surprises.

As kid dollar is big business. Hi-5 came in 5th on $18 million.

AC/DC pocketed a cool $12 million but keep in mind, that was in a year where they had not done a thing for 8 years. With a world tour on the way and a new album, expect that name to catapult to number one next year.

Saw producers James Wan and Leigh Whannell made the list with $8.8 million in the pocket. It was just 10 years ago when Whannell was the camera man on the ABC morning morning show Recovery.

Keith Urban also added $12 million to his bank balance.

Here is the list of Top 10 Aussie entertainers from BRW.

The Wiggles $45.0 million
Kylie Minogue $40.0 million
Russell Crowe $36.0 million
Hugh Jackman $25.0 million
Hi-5 $18.0 million
Cate Blanchett $14.0 million
Keith Urban $12.3 million
AC/DC $12.0 million
James Wan and Leigh Whannell $8.8 million
Anthony LaPaglia $8.0 million
