The 41-year-old star amassed 4.1 million pounds in the year to April 2009, it has emerged.

The latest accounts for the singer’s Darenote company lodged at Companies House in Britain reveals she earned 2.8 million pounds from her 2008-09 world tour, reports the Mail.

The rest was made through record sales and royalties.

Minogue paid herself 1.2 million pounds and left the rest of the money in Darenote.

“They are very healthy figures for any business,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted a financial expert as saying.

The expert added: “But for a singer who has been around for quite a long time it is incredible to be still earning money at this level.

“There are few pop stars who can sustain themselves at the top for so long.

“This shows that Kylie Minogue is among that select band.”

Financially, it is Minogue’s most successful year throughout her career.
