Pop princess Kylie Minogue is raking in record amounts of cash, more than two decades after she had her first hit.
The 41-year-old star earned STG4.1 million ($A6.75 million) in the year to April 2009, based on the latest accounts for her Darenote company lodged at Companies House in Britain.
The Mail on Sunday, which revealed Minogue's earnings, said most of the money she made during the year came from her 2008-09 world tour which raked in STG2.8 million ($A4.61 million).
The remainder was generated by record sales and royalties.
Minogue paid herself STG1.2 million ($A1.97 million) and left the rest of the money in Darenote.
The singer's earnings are the highest she has produced throughout her career, amounting to STG11,200 ($A18,430.15) a day.
"They are very healthy figures for any business," one financial expert told the newspaper.
"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."
Minogue is currently putting the finishing touches to a new album which she hopes to release within a few months.
