HOLLYWOOD star Nicole Kidman has been knocked off the top of Australia's celebrity rich list - by children's TV stars The Wiggles.
The musical quartet - who have gained millions of fans around the world with their fun-filled programmes - earned £18.4 million in 2004 from the sale of CDs, videos and other merchandise.
The Wiggles' phenomenal rise to prominence has forced Nicole into second place on BRW magazine's list, with her 12-month salary totalling £16.3 million.
Actor Russell Crowe completed the top three with estimated earnings of £11 million.
Veteran rockers AC/DC, fourth, and The Ring actress Naomi Watts, fifth, earned £7.3 million and £6.8 million respectively.
