If they all donated 50 million each to good causes I wonder how much good it would do and how little they would really feel it in terms of their lifestyles.

I was told after this announcement it cut to an ad break asking us to donate £3 a month to good causes

Nancy Shevell is McCartney's present wife.

Olivia is George's widow, Dhani is his son.

Dhani has his own group and meant to be rather talented

Michael Flately's done well hasn't he? I was quite surprised to see his name up there.

I saw a programme last year about Michael Flatley - I love River Dance, have the DVD - can't remember now if he lives in New York or California. He talked about his career and the cameras also followed him on a shopping trip to a high end store where he spent thousands that day on clothes, he's one of their valued customers. He also talked of a new show he was putting together, anyway through watching I learnt how extremely rich he was so wasn't surprised to see him on the list.

Well, we know Beckham is not a musician, but is Vicky still producing music? If it's fashion items surely that don't count.
