Sir Paul McCartney has reportedly increased his wealth by £50 million - landing a place in the top 10 of the annual music rich list.

The former Beatle, 77, is the richest musician in the UK, with a wealth of more than £800 million.

Sir Paul - whose wealth includes the fortune of his wife, American trucking heiress Nancy Shevell - is currently isolating at home in Rye with daughter Mary and her family. 

Elsewhere the Sunday Times music rich list estimates Michael Flatley’s wealth at £206m, placing him one place higher than Sheeran, Sting and Rod Stewart, who are all ranked in 10th place with £200 million.

The Irish-American former dancer amassed a huge fortune with the help of his shows: Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and Fleet of Flames.

Rihanna has also neared the top of the UK’s music rich list after moving to Britain last year, beating the likes of Mick Jagger and Elton John.

The 32-year-old singer, originally from Barbados, qualifies for the list for the first time after her surprise move to London and has an estimated fortune of £468 million.

Her wealth has been boosted by the success of her Fenty cosmetics brand and other partnerships such as her lingerie line, as well as record sales from her eight albums.
