OK, we’re being very nosey but…

The net worth of Ireland’s most famous celebrities has been revealed – and we’re just dying to know!

According to The Sunday Times’ 26th Annual Rich List, Irish mega band U2 still has the top spot of Ireland’s richest entertainers with a fortune of €516 million.

Lend us a few quid Bono…

Larry and the lads are closely followed by Lord of the Dance Michael Flatley, who takes second place with a cool €233 million.

We knew we should have kept up those Irish Dancing lessons!

Irish singer/songwriter, Enya, is ‘sailing away’ with around €106million.

One Direction star Niall Horan entered the list for the first time last year and, at only 20-years-old, is already sitting pretty with a net worth of €17 million.

1D still have a lot of catching up to do to take over from U2, however, as their combined wealth is a mere €84 million!

Former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has remained the same as last year with a net worth of €7milliion. Not too shabby!

The chart of Britain and Ireland’s top 50 music millionaires is in the Sunday Times Rich List 2014 this weekend.

Rihanna’s former accountant has accused her of squandering her cash on roomfuls of shoes, clothes and jewellery.

The Barbadian singer has been embroiled in a legal battle with accounting firm Berdon LLP for the past two years since accusing them of gross management of her funds.

Rihanna apparently insisted she had $11 million in cash at the beginning of 2009, but an estimated $9 million of this money was mishandled.

But now it seems, one of the firm’s accountants Peter Gounis is biting back by accusing the Rude Boy singer of over-the-top overspending.

Gounis reportedly told the court that the 26-year-old singer squandered her cash on spending sprees and extravagant parties.

If we were young, rich and beautiful, we can’t say we wouldn’t get carried away too.

This wedding was paid for completely by Michael Jordan and his wife, making it easily the most expensive ever (excluding royals) coming in at $10 million. The wedding featured a 500,000 square-foot tent.

2. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
Estimated at $10 million, Kim and Kris paid next to nothing for this extravagant affair. Wedding suppliers flocked to provide goods and services for free just to be associated with the wedding of the year. Bet they have regrets. Will they come back for her upcoming nuptials to Kanye? Probably.

If you thought that these weddings were expensive then you will never believe what the royals spend on theirs!

Kate Middleton and Prince Williams’s wedding was a budget affair at $33 million when compared to Prince Charles and Diana’s wedding which cashed in at $115 million.

Sheika Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum and his bride Sheika Hind Bint Maktoum’s romantic 1979 wedding cost $137 million and was held in Dubai. A hall especially for the event was built for 20,000 people and a five day national holiday was declared.

Knocked Up star Katherine Heigl admits she hasn’t made  that much money in the past few years.

The former Grey’s Anatomy actress is starring in an upcoming independent film Jenny’s Wedding but the filming won’t be going ahead if it doesn’t reach its $150,000 target by 28th March.

So far it has only reached $32,311 and when asked by TMZ if she could help them out, Heigl replied: “I haven’t made that much in the last few years, man. I gotta support my family.”

Unfortunately, if this movie doesn’t go ahead it won’t be the first flop for the star. In 2013, Heigl starred in The Big Wedding which failed to earn big bucks, even though it had a pretty good cast including Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams and Susan Sarandon. Her 2012 flick One for The Money also flopped and rumours had it that the 35-year-old was difficult to work with.

Katherine claims to have earned $12 million in 2010 for her role in Life As We Know It but things seemed to have gone downhill since then; however, she will be joining the cast of CIA in NBC’s upcoming drama so hopefully things are on the up.

Eddie Cibrian, Leann Rimes’ husband, has managed to stay silent as his ex-wife Brandi Glanville continually slated him in public, even claiming he gave her an STI. 

However it would seem her latest attempt to undermine him has gone a step too far.

Claiming on her Twitter account that he has actually asked her for child support, Eddie hit back through his rep stating: “Eddie has been and continues TO pay child support to Brandi. This is yet another attempt to manipulate the truth which always seems to happen when Brandi has something to promote.”

The couple have two sons together while Leann brands herself a “bonus mom”, much to Brandi’s delight we are sure!
