Young women the driving force behind new music

For a list of women who are unlikely to lose any sleep worrying about their ability to find cheap car insurance for woman drivers, you need look no further than the latest instalment of the Sunday Times music millionaires list.

Yes, although the top ten places are still filled by men and the highest place women on the list are still up there beside their husbands – Victoria Beckham being one example – there are still plenty of women who have the kind of cash most of us can only ever dream about.

I was surprised that I’d never even heard of the highest placed woman on the list – Judy Cramer, creator of the stage show Mamma Mia!, and now reported to be worth £62 million, a figure which is actually down £18 million on her 2010 listing. I can only guess she must have been doing some serious shopping.

Unsurprisingly, the only other woman in the top 50 on her own right was camp pop princess, Kylie Minogue, who’s worth a mere £40 million.

The good news for women is that eight of the top ten young music millionaires are women – Katherine Jenkins, Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, Katie Melua and Joss Stone fill out the top 5 spaces.
