Music is big business, and while singing and playing in a band can make you rich and famous - working as producer, dancer, or lyricist can be even more lucrative.

Every year The Sunday Times publishes its highly anticipated "Rich List" of all the wealthiest people in Britain.

As a preview, the publication released a snippet of some of the rankings, by listing who accrued the largest musical fortunes in the UK.

This includes individual dancers, singers, bands, and music producers.

The Sunday Times did not say why it split some bands' musical fortunes up into individual rankings.

Business Insider took a look at some of the largest musical fortunes in Britain - none of them were women.
