Recently Robbie Williams has again demonstrated his star power by earning a staggering £75.2 million from his XXV world tour. The singer who just turned 51 years old, has been in the limelight for more than 30 years ever since his Take That Day which raked in an impressive amount of £1.4 million per week, performed all over the globe starting from October 22 to December 2023.
Williams, aside from his substantial earnings has made headlines several times with his generous donations of £250,000 to charity as well as his knack for making extravagant personal purchases, some of which include a bid for his comedy idol Eric Morecambe’s glasses and pipe which is worth about £300,000.
A ground-breaking year for Robbie Williams
Reports from his company’s new financial record You’re Not Famous have revealed nearly tripled earnings from Williams in other years, shooting from £30.7 million in 2022 to 75.2 million in 2023. This result is responsible for his firm’s boosts of over £18 million in cash reserves and assets which include £151,000 worth of luxury cars.

£55.3 million which is the bulk of Williams’s income came from Europe while the rest was believed to have been generated from other International markets. Regardless of his enormous success, Williams does not seem to have any intention of slowing down, rather he has plans of embarking on more tours later this year.
Big spender with an even bigger heart
It is no secret that he has never shied away from indulging his expensive whims, in fact, earlier this month, Williams admitted to possibly bidding away all of his children’s inheritance after he splurged over £200,000 bidding for a pair of glasses and pipe once owned by his favorite comedian, late Eric Morecambe. The singer took to Instagram to share his excitement, disclosing that he has watched the auction live while pushing for the bid with the encouragement of his wife with whom he shares four children.
“I kept asking Ayda, ‘What should I do?’ and she just said, ‘Keep bidding,’” Williams shared. “In the end, it wasn’t about the money, it was about winning.”
Williams’s respect and admiration for Morecombe runs deep, regarding him as his lifelong inspiration.
“Eric has always felt like an uncle of sorts to me. How he made people feel is exactly how I want to make people feel,” he wrote.
Williams has besides his extravagant purchases, also pushed a significant amount of his wealth towards charity. He had made donations to the tune of £250,000 to various charitable organizations.
