Vanessa fiddles her way to £32m

She made the violin cool. And now Vanessa Mae is even cooler, with a £32million fortune.

The 27-year-old has topped the Young Entertainers category in The Sunday Times Rich List 2006, it was revealed yesterday.

The Singapore-born musician became a household name with her electric violin.

According to the new figures, her wealth puts her 10th-equal in the top 100 richest young people.

Last year's No.1 spot was held by Victoria Beckham. But the footballer's wife is now too old for the category.

In second place this year was Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter Kiera, 23. Her £30million wealth comes from her 30 per cent stake in Hollywood production company Limelight Films and her acting and modelling work.

She is also president of the firm which owns webforjetset.com - a website dedicated to finding the super-rich everything from helicopters to bodyguards.

Third place went to the four members of Coldplay, who each have an equal share of the band's £100million riches.

The list is based on identifiable wealth such as land, property and other assets including art, racehorses and shares. It does not include bank accounts.

It describes itself as 'the definitive guide to wealth in Britain and Ireland'.
