The legendary musician Nile Rodgers has spent 50 glorious years entertaining us with his funky soul and pure guitar style.
The 69-year-old three-time Grammy award winner takes pride of place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He brought hip-hop to the world, with a role in Sugarhill Gang’s ‘Rapper’s Delight’, Sister Sledge’s ‘We Are Family’, David Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’, and even Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’,

And now fans are desperate to know how much the music icon has made from his exploits.
As of 2022, Nile Rodgers has an estimated net worth of $200 million (£158 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The massive figure comes after half a century selling music he produced, performed and wrote.
To keep his creative juices flowing, Rodgers recently admitted he has 11 TVs running 24 hours a day in his house. He says it gives him the distraction he needs to focus. Should we give that a try?

If only we had as much space for those pesky TVs - he recently listed his home in Westport, Connectitut for an eye-watering $5.25 million (£2.1 million).
He told the Sunday Times: “Music is at the heart of everything I do and it never leaves my day. I think in music, not words, and I have this hyperactive music machine for a brain, which is a blessing and curse.
“It's always composing, but don't get me wrong: it's not always good stuff. Most of it is ridiculous stuff but, boy, does it have me interested."
He does work on the other side of the pond too - he recently hosted an epic jam session with his band Chic and soul singers from the House Gospel Choir.
