Jarvis Cocker, 61 years old, born on September 19th 1963 in Sheffield England.

His net worth is estimated to be $5 million / £3.7 million

Jarvis was on the Ross Show, and it was mentioned that Pulp was formed in the 1970s, so I looked up his age.

I was surprised to find that he is only worth a few million – about one-tenth of what I had expected.

I was surprised to find that there was a thread created for this.

Beyonce 760 million

Madonna 850 million

Elton John 500 million

You're on the right track, more money in comedy.

Comedians tend to be very clever.

I was surprised to find that he is only worth a few million – about one-tenth of what I had expected.

I could live very nicely on £3.7M.

I’ve always been curious how these ‘net worth’ websites work - am I right to think there’s a high degree of guess work as I don’t imagine Jarvis Cockers (or anyone else for that matter) financials are public knowledge?

Celebrity net worth is calculated by considering the following factors:

1. Gathering information: Collect data on their income, assets, and liabilities.
2. Calculating income: Determine how much they earn from various sources.
3. Assessing assets: Consider investments, real estate, and other valuable possessions.
4. Accounting for liabilities: Subtract debts and financial obligations.
5. Calculating net worth: Subtract liabilities from assets to arrive at the final net worth.

It does look like a high degree of guess work.

It’s all nonsense based on public records(ie companies house) and what they think they own in terms of assets.

I saw a program with Alan Sugar once where he said something to the effect of ‘tell me someone on the Sunday Times list that could write me a cheque for 100m right now, I guarantee not many of them could’. That says it all.

Cash in the bank along with some fixed assets is vastly different to what some journalist thinks you’ve got.

I could write him one; it would bounce, though!

Seriously, most of these people's wealth is tied up in stocks and shares and other investments, all of which take time to cash in. And in many cases these are companies they own, so there are additional difficulties. Your pension fund isn't a lump of cash sitting somewhere but a portfolio of shares and other investments.

Jimmy Carr's net worth is estimated to be somewhere between £12-£25million.

Funny how he breaks the faux calculations.
