Shock as crews rush to Cage\u2019s $16m mansion<\/a><\/p>\n Sad truth behind Bullock\u2019s $69m fortune<\/a><\/p>\n ABBA. Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid \u2018Frida\u2019 Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog and Bjorn Ulvaeus.<\/p>\n Anni-Frid Lyngstad<\/p>\n Estimated net worth: $450m ($US300m)<\/p>\n Anni-Frid \u2018Frida\u2019 Lyngstad sits at the top of the band\u2019s rich list, thanks in large part to an unexpected royal link.<\/p>\n Following her 1981 divorce from bandmate Benny Andersson, Lyngstad relocated to Europe and married Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss von Plauen in 1992, gaining the title Princess Reuss.<\/p>\n When the prince died from lymphoma seven years later, Lyngstad inherited a royal fortune worth more than $173m today.<\/p>\n Her solo career also produced the most successful post-ABBA album of any member, with Something\u2019s Going On selling more than 1.5 million copies.<\/p>\n Today, she lives in the luxury ski resort town of Zermatt, Switzerland, with her partner Henry Smith, 5th Viscount Hambleden.<\/p>\n Princess Anni-Frid Synni Reuss of Plauen in 2013.<\/p>\n Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus<\/p>\n Estimated net worth: $450m ($US300m)<\/p>\n Tied for the title of richest bandmate, lyricist Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus turned ABBA\u2019s legacy into a commercial powerhouse.<\/p>\n Ulvaeus holds major stakes in Mamma Mia! The Party \u2014 a Greek taverna dining experience charging upwards of $200 a ticket \u2014 and acquired the site housing the ABBA Museum and Melody Hotel in Stockholm.<\/p>\n Ulvaeus famously fought the Swedish Tax Agency over a $12.8m back-tax claim in the 2000s, winning the legal battle outright.<\/p>\n He later admitted ABBA wore their outlandish stage outfits because clothing unfit for street wear qualified as a tax deduction.<\/p>\n Ulvaeus holds an extensive property portfolio, anchored by a mansion on its own private island in Djursholm, one of Sweden\u2019s most exclusive enclaves.<\/p>\n He also owns a $3.7m waterfront estate on H\u00f6l\u00f6 Island and maintains multiple rustic summer cottages across 14,000sq m of seaside land on Viggs\u00f6.<\/p>\n Bjorn Ulvaeus.

Picture Google Maps<\/p>\n Benny Andersson<\/p>\n Estimated net worth: $345m ($US230m)<\/p>\n As one half of ABBA\u2019s songwriting powerhouse, Benny Andersson composed the music behind the band\u2019s biggest global hits.<\/p>\n When the group split in 1982, Andersson co-wrote stage musicals Chess and Kristina From Duvem\u00e5la, while managing the global Mamma Mia! brand rights.<\/p>\n The franchise generated $5.5m in annual royalties and dividends for the songwriting duo.<\/p>\n Andersson\u2019s primary residence, Villa Lido, sits on a scenic island in central Stockholm.<\/p>\n He also holds a retreat on Viggs\u00f6 Island \u2014 famously known as \u201cABBA Island\u201d \u2014 where he and Bj\u00f6rn built a wooden writing cabin to compose their hits.<\/p>\n Andersson previously owned a $3.25m waterfront estate in Florida, built in a classic Swedish Long House style, which was sold following the band\u2019s divorces.<\/p>\n Benny Andersson in 2017.
