Every year, the Sunday Times releases its list of British millionaires.
This year they've released two other lists:
The surprising good news is the next list, the Under 30s. Nobody would be surprised to discover that Adele tops the list with £30 million, a £10 million increase on 2012.
But, you might be surprised to discover that the top eight music millionaires under 30 are all women. In fact, out of the richest 23 musicians under 30 in the UK, 12 are women.
Kylie Minogue is the top female musician in the Music Millionaires list, making it in at equal 39th position. The only other single female entries were Sade, in equal 48th spot, and Sarah Brightman at number 50.
Olivia and Dhani Harrison make it in at equal ninth spot but since their millions are largely inherited from George, it hardly counts. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne make it in in equal 20th spot, and given Sharon's management of the band, it's a deserved hurrah for women. Gwyneth Paltrow makes it into the list alongside Chris Martin in equal 23rd spot, but...need I go on?
Now, that's girl power, and there's not a Spice Girl among them!
It also cheers me up after the last post I'd written on females in music sent me into a deep depression.
Does this signal a permanent change in female fortunes in the music industry? I can't see how not.
I don't subscribe to the Sunday Times. I was alerted to this fab news by the business blog from Conversis, The Conversation. You can see both lists there.
