Kylie Minogue

The global economic recession has not spared the rich. Yet, they are rich. Pop queen Kylie Minogue, has landed a place in the UK rich list despite having lost money in the economic crisis.

According to the list compiled by The Sunday Times, the 40-year-old singer has made it to the 46th spot among the Top wealthiest music with her personal fortune of over $70 million. Minogue’s wealth, however, has come down from last year when her fortune was estimated to be worth $83.5 million. That puts her in league with Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams and Mick Jagger whose earnings dropped by 10% last year due to the global meltdown.

The UK rich list shows that Minogue was worth $71.25 million which equals that of Ronnie Wood, Mick Hucknell and Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay. South African-born record executive 62-yer-old Clive Calder tops the UK rich list with a personal fortune of $2.6 billion. Economic crisis or not, Kylie can now celebrate because she remains one of world’s richest female singers.
