Stone: Cash on the hip

Proving drug addiction pays, Amy Winehouse has made it into the Sunday Times Rich List of top young musicians.

Her £10m fortune puts her alongside mega-jawed reality popstar Will Young and ‘is that a Kestrel on your shoulder’ Craig David.

The most loaded under 30-years-old music person is Dhani Harrison. Who he, you may ask. Well, if we told you his dad was George and an ex-Beatle, you can understand why he’s worth an estimated £160m.

Well done him, for being born.

Fiddling fitty Vanessa-Mae Nicholson, who was to blame for a plethora of classical hotties in push-up bras, shows plucking her own personal Stradivarius pays off as she comes in at No2 with a cool £32m.

The bods in Coldplay that you might find more difficult to name (ie not Chris Martin) Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion are in third place with £30m each. Chris Martin, you see, is 31 years old.

Warbling Welsh talkshow windbag Charlotte Church and her rugger gel prince Gavin Henson are No9 on the list.

The highest new entry is Manchester-born fashion model Karen Elson, who with White Stripes frontman Jack White, are worth £25m.

Well done, all of you. You’ve all down frightfully well.

Dhani Harrison (£160m)
Vanessa-Mae Nicholson (£32m)
Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion (£30m)
Karen Elson and Jack White (£25m)
Katie Melua (£18m)
Joss Stone (£12m)
Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson (£11m)
Craig David, Amy Winehouse, Will Young (£10m)
