Bob Geldof lands €3m windfall from TV production firm Castaway

Bob Geldof last year shared in a fresh £2.25m (€3m) windfall in dividends from the production firm behind the successful reality television show, Survivor.

The Dubliner may not generate significant income from his singing career anymore, but his shareholding in Castaway Television Productions Ltd has proven a very shrewd investment and is an impressive cash cow for the 64-year old, producing dividends on an annual basis.

The UK-based company is the firm behind the Survivor reality TV series that has been sold across the world and viewed by tens of millions of people.
