Paul McCartney still tops the richest musician in Britain list (caribbean360.com)

LONDON, England, Friday April 19, 2013 – At the ripe old age of 70, former Beatles and Wings star Sir Paul McCartney is still the richest musician in Britain, booting “Cats” creator Andrew Lloyd-Webber into the doghouse; giving U2 a big “you, too” and conveying a clear message to Elton John to “Get Back, Honky Cat,” not to mention leaving Mick Jagger with no “Satisfaction”.

McCartney's £680 million (US$1.04 billion) fortune put him in the top spot on the Sunday Times Rich List 2013, which will be published in full on April 21, and ranks the UK and Ireland's richest musicians.

The ranking is nothing new for the vintage entertainer who has topped all the charts for the country's wealthiest musicians since the Rich List’s inception in 1989. At that time he was only worth a paltry £80 million.

Apart from his featured appearances at Queen Elizabeth's diamond jubilee and both the opening and closing ceremonies for the London Olympics, the former Beatle's "On the Run" tour grossed US$57 million last year.

Plumping-up his total was his millionairess third wife Nancy Shevell's stake in her father's New England Motor Freight empire.

The royals know how to have a good time.

It's not as crazy as some of their other outings, but Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry still enjoyed themselves during a pop concert at Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee today—just look at those faces!

So who did they jam out to?


Robbie Williams opened the show with his version of "Let Me Entertain You," which the three musketeers seemed to enjoy—how thrilled does Kate look waving her flag in the air?! Will.i.am and Jessie J followed up with the Black Eyed Peas hit "I Gotta Feeling."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and company also enjoyed the sounds of Paul McCartney, Tom Jones and Stevie Wonder.

Later on, comedian Lenny Henry and the crowd welcomed the queen—who strutted a gold cocktail dress with Swarovski crystals—to the royal box. She was escorted to her seat by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla.

Young royals to host Buckingham Palace 'after party' for Diamond Jubilee stars The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will host a star-studded party at Buckingham Palace tomorrow night for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.By Roya Nikkhah, Royal Correspondent8:00AM BST 03 Jun 2012 (TELEGRAPH)

Following a very public party outside the Palace, where artists including Sir Paul McCartney and Kylie Minogue will perform at the Diamond Jubilee concert, the young royals will entertain pop and rock stars at an intimate “after party” to personally thank them for their contribution to the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The concert, featuring artists who have recorded in every decade of the Queen’s reign, who will perform on a stage encircling the Queen Victoria Memorial, will be attended by the Queen and many members of the Royal Family.

A crowd of 10,000 people have won tickets to attend through a free public ballot and thousands more are expected to watch via screens along the Mall and in the adjoining Royal Parks.

To close the concert, the Queen will light the National Beacon from the stage at 10.30pm following the lighting of more than 4,000 beacons across the country and throughout the Commonwealth.

The Duke and Duchess and Prince Harry will then welcome many of the performers to a party at Buckingham Palace, with the guest list expected to include Sir Tom Jones, Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole, Dame Shirley Bassey, Annie Lennox and Sir Elton John.
