The Annual BRW Top 50 Richest Australian Entertainers List for 2005 was released this week. The usual names were all there, Nicole Kidman, Russel Crowe and a few new ones. With most of them it is obvious where all the money comes from but others not so. These are the Top Nine things you did not know about the BRW Top 50 Richest Entertainers...

9) Without selling hand made knitted coats for cats on eBay, Nicole Kidman would only have earnt a mere 17 million
8) Keith Urban makes that much money singing country music. Seriously!
7) Greg from the Wiggles has blown most of his share of the money on his fairy bread addiction
6) With AC/DC on the list the government finds the disposable income of bogans is easier to track
5) Russell Crowe will soon be off the list if he keeps insisting with that TOFOG crap
4) Harold from Neighbours is a notable absentee
3) Baby Mia Carwright-Hewitt is at number 43 and may never see a cent of it. C'mon
2) Magda Szubanski almost missed out on the list, not because she doesn't make enough money but simply because she is no longer entertaining
1) The Veronica twins divide their money 60/40 in favour of the prettier one
