Fed: Kidman tops entertainers rich list

Oscar winning actor NICOLE KIDMAN has more than doubled her annual income in 2003,
making her Australia's richest entertainer.

According to the BRW Top 50 Entertainers, KIDMAN earned an estimated $25 million for
calendar 2003.

That's a jump from her eighth place spot at $11.6 million in 2002.

BRW entertainers editor ROBERT SKEFFINGTON says the magazine has changed the way it
collates the results compared with previous years, making it difficult to contrast the
2003 and 2002 data.

KIDMAN is followed closely by singer JOHN FARNHAM who earned $24 million in 2003.

Hard rockers AC/DC are in third place at $20 million.





The top 10 entertainers in the BRW Top 50 Entertainers list:



* Nicole Kidman (actor) $25m million

* John Farnham (singer) $24m million

* AC/DC (music group) $20m million

* Russell Crowe (actor) $20m million

* The Wiggles (children's entertainers) $14.2m million
