“Sunday Times of London” Rich List
Sunday, April 23rd, 2006The Sunday Times of London’s 2006 list of Britain’s 1,000 wealthiest people was published today, April 23, 2006.
With £185 million, Tom is tied with Sting at #9 in the music list. He’s also #9 overall in Wales. The full music list is in PDF format at the Times Online Check it out.
The wealthiest Brit in music is a man named Clive Calder, a famously — and rigorously — publicity shy record label mogul who sold his Zomba Recordings, onetime label for Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, to BMG for $2.7 billion in 2002. Today his fortune is estimated at £1.3 billion. At one time, Zomba owned the Jive label on which Tom’s Move Closer CD was released in 1989.
As is to be expected, Paul McCartney is the highest-ranked musician on the list.

Well, as the song says, Tom sure works hard for the money. Once again, we say he deserves it.
