May 29, 200916 yr Is Craig Phillips the guy from the series that Anthony won, and if so then how the hell is he so high??
May 29, 200916 yr Is Craig Phillips the guy from the series that Anthony won, and if so then how the hell is he so high?? Oh no your thinking off: http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m2/may2005/9/2/000A11CB-D885-129A-997C80BFB6FA0000.jpg Craig Phillips won series 1: http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00497/CraigVictory_682x40_497228a.jpg He's maintained a bit of a tv carer. (60 Minute Makeover :kink:)
May 29, 200916 yr 17. Charlotte Hobrough (£1.2m) Survivor Wasnt expecting Charlotte to be there, i remember absouletly loving her :wub:
May 29, 200916 yr Didn't think Gareth or Charlotte would be as high as they are, and expected Darius to be higher. The rest is pretty much as I'd assume.
May 29, 200916 yr Gareth Gates? £6.5m? Where FROM? Umm...his million selling single? Dancing On Ice? His panto work? I got nothing. :( I'm surprised he is worth so much, I would have thought the Gareth Gates of today would be worth 650k. Why else would he appear on Dancing On Ice? :lol:
May 30, 200916 yr I'd of thought Kim Marsh would be higher after being in Corrie for so long Nah I don't think so ... I'm surprised she's even on that much to be honest. If someone like Barbara Windsor is on something like 130,000 after so long in EastEnders, Kym can't be on anything like 6 figures.
May 30, 200916 yr Could I please see it with each member of Girls Aloud seperate please Thanks in advance :D
May 30, 200916 yr Is Craig Phillips the guy from the series that Anthony won, and if so then how the hell is he so high?? Lol!! He must have robbed Anthony!
May 30, 200916 yr I found their seperate fortunes from their BuzzJack forum: Cheryl £10M Sarah £5.8MNicola £5.7M Nadine £6.7MKimberley £5.6M
May 30, 200916 yr I found their seperate fortunes from their BuzzJack forum: Thanks for the breakdown. Thought the £25m was their acumulated total. Makes Will the top earner in my eyes :yahoo: Gareth Gates like GA has made a fair bit of money from endorsements in the early days.
June 14, 200916 yr People tend to forget how many records Gareth has sold, in particular around the world. I know some people in the UK scoff at being "big in Germany" or "big in Asia", but it all adds up and don't forget top selling DVDs, calendars and PAs and more recently starring in Joseph, which pays very well. Just because The Sun wants to compare people like Leon to Gareth, doesn't mean that their careers are in any way similar in real terms. I must admit, I'd have thought Darius would have earned more, because he did a fair bit of touring and appearances at Party in the Park type events, but perhaps none of the tours were of the scale to bring in the big money.
June 15, 200916 yr The point is no-one knows what criteria they've used to come to their conclusions. No-one knows if they've taken into account foreign sales and more importantly for a songwriter, foreign airplay. Have they worked on the basis of what proportion of the rights the co-writers had on particular songs or have they just used one size fits all?; have they taken into account the sales of compilation albums the artists' songs were on?, or if songs which were written but not recorded by the artist were later recorded on albums by other artists and also released as singles? And what of cover mount deals with newspapers, are they counted? All of that brings in quite a bit of revenue and all of those apply to Darius. Without that sort of information it would be pretty impossible to judge what any individual songwriter earned. Then there are ringtones, karaoke tracks and re-mixes, for all of which a songwriter gets returns. How much was Darius paid when Colourblind was used in the film Afterlife? Did they count his book deal? What of his speaking role in Hollyoaks, other TV presentation and many stints as guest DJ on several stations? Do they ever have the remotest clue of anything Darius or others do in Scotland or the North of England unless it's fed to them by PR people? He'd been working solidly there for months and when he appeared in London at 19's Gala Celebration the tabloids claimed it was his first UK appearance for ages. Do they know what he earned as Billy Flynn at the Adelphi and later at the Cambridge, as Sky Masterson and as Rhett Butler last year? Has he been producing others in his LA studio? I suspect the Sun wouldn't have researched too deeply into Darius or others and can't say with any certainty what any of them have earned. Edited June 15, 200916 yr by Baytree

Erm, I reckon they ripped most of their info from the Times rich list. I doubt they put any real effort into compiling the list by doing their own research. I agree they must surely have underestimated Darius's wealth, for instance.
