Although Flatley had to postpone the European leg of his Celtic Tiger show due to illness, DVD sales of the dance show added to his fortune. The Chicago-born Irishman, resident in Monaco but with a £40m Co Cork estate, also married dancer Niamh OBrien last year. He has two Lord of the Dance troupes on the road and the shows could run for another decade, giving the brand, we conservatively estimate, an £87m value. He has invested in a Warren Buffett fund and in property. These assets should have grown to £211m. Art and jewellery add to his wealth.
