Bob Geldof's wealth..... huh??

Banjara

Just been watching him on the Late Late and for some inexplicable reason whilst doing so was prompted to 'wiki' him. According to this source, he was worth 30 million sterling in 2001 ........ how on earth is this possible?????

On another note, according to my aunt, he needs to 'smarten himself up at his age.... it's a disgrace' etc etc :-)

30+ year career in music plus television production and other things.......................... why not 30 mill+ ?

OP, you should have read further down...

From wiki

"By 1992 Bob Geldof had established himself as a businessman through co-ownership of the TV production company Planet 24, which pioneered early morning television with The Big Breakfast. Planet 24 was sold to Carlton TV in 1999. Factual media producer Ten Alps was founded the next day by Geldof and business partner Alex Connock. It has revenue of around £80m.[42]"

Thanks Futonic, that all makes sense now!!

His production company was also behind some of the crap reality television show's. The same shows he would have a fascist hatred of if he wasn't involved with them.
