AC/DC are the wealthiest Australians in showbusiness - the rockers have topped a poll of the country’s richest entertainers.
The Back in Black hitmakers, who formed in Sydney in 1973, claimed the number one slot on the 2009 BRW Top 50 Entertainers list with their yearly income of $95 million (£59.4 million).
Aussie singer Kylie Minogue retained her place at number two with $42 million (£26.25 million) yearly earnings, while children’s musical group The Wiggles bumped New Zealand-born actor Russell Crowe into fourth place.
The top five is rounded out by country music star Keith Urban, whose actress wife Nicole Kidman ranked ninth in the poll.
