Kylie Set To Join The Wiggles In Orgy On Bed Comprised Entirely Of $100 Notes

She spends so much time overseas these days (hell, since the mid-’90s) it’s sometimes easy to forget that, for the purposes of things like “Australia: Just What Do They Put In The Water Down There?” features and, oh, high earner lists, Kylie Minogue is still considered as Aussie as chucking another Victa Mower on the barbie built out of XXXX cans and kangaroos. But she is, and she’s done well for herself in the latest BRW Top 50 Entertainers list of those who light their cigarettes with flaming $50 notes – so I charge another glass of liquid gold and sprinkled with diamonds to Our Kyles!

The singer earned $40 million in the last year to see her clinch second spot on the annual BRW Top 50 Entertainers list. Minogue’s fortune is closer than anyone has got to children’s entertainers the Wiggles in years.

They took the top position for the fourth year running after amassing $45 million in 2007-08 – $5 million less than they earned the previous year.

BRW editor-in-chief Sean Aylmer said Kylie’s growing fortune, up $13 million, was in part thanks to her sell-out world tour.

The poor Wiggles, $5 million less – someone call the Salvos! Does anyone else find themselves blacking out and feeling slightly nervous and uncomfortable when such exceedingly large amounts of money are discussed? The other day I found 20c in the gutter and thought to myself, it’s going to be a good day.
