Shevell's estimated £150 million fortune helps rocket the 71 year old up the Music Millionaires List to number four, behind Zomba Group boss Clive Calder, Sir Cameron Mackintosh and Warner Music Group head Len Blavatnik, who tops the rich list with a £10 billion fortune.

The countdown of the 50 wealthiest music men and women in Britain and Ireland also includes Simon Cowell (£300 million), Sir Elton John (£260 million), Adele (£45 million), and the five members of One Direction, who share a £70 million fortune. Take That star Gary Barlow, who has recently been accused of tax avoidance, also makes the rich list with a £65 million fortune. The full list will be available in the Times on 18 May (14).
