It’s a beautiful pay day for U2

The 2010 Sunday Times Music Rich List puts U2’s total wealth at £429 million (€690m) – up some £5m on last year. The band was the highest-earning act in the world last year.

The remainder of the top five remains the same as 2009, with Michael Flatley (£241m), Enya (£85m), Van Morrison (£50m) and Chris de Burgh (£31m) following U2 in that order.
