All of that rolling around on the floor in parish halls around Ireland and the UK was absolutely worth it. Somehow, the doting women who worship Wee Daniel have managed to provide him with the very comfortable net worth of €31 million.
2. Enya

Maintaining a very private life in a castle in Killiney appears to be very profitable. The singer even has fish named after her – a species discovered this year in the Orinoco River was named Leporinus Enyae after the singer. How lovely.
With very little promotion – she believes music should sell itself – Enya has managed to become the third wealthiest Irish entertainer, with a fortune of €117 million.
3. Niall Horan

As a member of the most popular boy’s band of the last ten years, you’d reckon Niall Horan would be doing extremely well. He is, in fairness. But he’s not quite on Enya’s level yet.
The 23-year-old is the only entertainer under 40 to be on the list of Ireland’s 300 richest people. The combination of his time spent in One Direction and his solo career has left Niall with (according to Independent.ie) €72 million.
4. Michael Flatley

Michael Flatley, who was one of the few people willing to perform at Trump’s inauguration is, to put it simply, filthy rich. Better start bringing your kids to dance class because look where a few jigs will get you – €251 million.
5. Colin Farrell

Internationally famous and a name that most people are familiar with. Colin has a substantial fortune to show for his work, but surprisingly it’s not much more than Daniel O’Donnell. What’s Daniel’s secret? Seriously, where did all of that money come from? Anyway, Colin’s worth €31.5 million.

The highest paid musicians alive, U2 have performed for over seven million people. That’s a lot of people paying to see four men who went to Mount Temple. With only four members to split the earnings between, they’ve still got more money than anyone could possibly ever need. And plenty to share with Revenue. U2′s net worth is twenty times what Daniel O’Donnell is bringing home. They’ve got €635 million.
7. Pierce Brosnan

Considering one of his last movies (I.T.) was filmed in UCD when it was supposed to be set in Washington, you might think Brosnan was a bit hard up for cash. I.T. earned a mild 5.4/10 on IMDB and raked in just €96,000 at box office. You’d probably expect Colin Farrell to currently be a little more comfortable than Brosnan, but he’s still sitting on a fortune from the 007 series. That fortune? €52 million.
8. Graham Norton

For someone who only works half of the year, Graham Norton’s doing pretty well. Now in fairness he sells a good few bottles of wine, but he’s hardly bottling them himself. The rest of the time, when his show is on he’s doing work that most of us would do for free – meeting celebrities, chatting with them and embarrassing them on his red couch. For the privilege, according to Independent.ie’s rich list, in 2017 the presenter was worth €36 million.
9. Nadine Coyle

After being so desperate to succeed on Irish Popstars (and join the now completely forgotten band Six) that she lied about her age, Nadine Coyle had an unforgettably mortifying exchange with Linda Martin.
After she was caught out lying about her age and she pretended to look for her passport, fully knowing that she was too young to be on the show, Nadine was confronted by Linda. She insisted, moments after rooting through her bags for her passport, that if she was lying about her age she would have told Linda Martin at this stage. She looked Linda Martin dead in the eyes and lied to her. Very few people could do that on camera.
Fair play to her for being so brazen, but she totally dodged a bullet and ended up in Girls Aloud who have more bangers to their name than the number of band members in six. The most important lie of Nadine Coyle’s life helped her secure a net worth of €7 million.
10. Liam Neeson

For a man whose most famous role is a father who’s not very good at making sure his family members don’t get kidnapped, Liam Neeson is very good at looking after money. It’s easy to forget how many big titles Neeson has been in because he has been reduced to a meme by his role in Taken, but it has all added up. Star Wars, Schindler’s List, Batman Begins and the likes have lined his bank account with up to €63 million.
At least all of them are worth more than Lindsay Lohan, Coolio, Janice Dickenson and Mike Tyson combined.
