Wiggles Well Worth It

According to a new report by BRW Magazine, The Wiggles are now Australia’s wealthiest entertainers. They brought in an estimated $34.5 million last year with their TV show, live performances, DVDs, CDs and merchandise.

If you don’t know who The Wiggles are, you’re probably not a parent of young children. Airing on the Disney Channel, The Wiggles are a group of four guys who are like a cross between The Monkees and Mr. Rodgers. With lots of singing and dancing, their show is great fun for the kids—educational, entertaining and wholesome in a way our culture too often lacks. There should be more entertainers like The Wiggles.

So, congratulations Greg, Murray, Jeff and Anthony. God knows you deserve the money a lot more than Australia’s other richest performers: Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.
