Always willing to fan the flames of British class warfare, The Sunday Times will publish another "rich list" feautring the 1,000 wealthiest people in the UK and the richest individuals in Ireland.
Coldplay's Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow make the list for the first time with a combined fortune of $115 million. Given the pace of Mylo Xyloto and its attendant tour, that number will be significantly higher by this time next year.
Other highlights include the wealth of Daniel Ek, the 29 year-old founder of Spotify who has $302 million to his name. And despite his divorces, Paul McCartney is now worth $1.06 billion.
Here's the full list of music people:
1 Clive Calder (£1,350m)
2 Cameron Mackintosh (£725m)
3 Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell (£665m)
4 Andrew Lloyd-Webber (£590m)
5 U2 (£514m)
6 Simon Fuller (£375m)
7 Simon Cowell (£225m)
8 Elton John (£220m)
9 Michael Flatley (£192m)
10= David and Victoria Beckham (£190m)
10= Daniel Ek (£190m)
10= Mick Jagger (£190m)
