Bono, Adam, Larry and the Edge are sitting pretty at Number 3.
The Annual Sunday Times Music Rich List is being revealed this weekend, but they've given us a sneak peak at the top 10 earners in music.
Among the biggest Irish breadwinners are U2, who've managed to amass a fortune of €635m. The Irish rockers are in third position behind the former Beatles singer Paul McCartney and legendary composer Andrew Lions Webber.
The Lord Of The Dance, Michael Flatley, is sitting in the Number 9 slot, with an estimated fortune of €250m. While, Enya is Ireland's wealthiest female musician, with a jackpot of €115m.
Longtime editor of the Sunday Times Rich List Ian Coxon says the Irish singer's fortune hasn't shifted a great deal in the last year. "She's 'only' up a million this year - but she's a well-established artist and over her career has sold millions of records," Coxon remarked.
