Russell Brand paid himself and wife Laura £2.1million in dividends before he was engulfed in allegations of rape and sexual assault, currently being investigated by police.
Sean Diddy Combs is worth an estimated $1 billion, with a record label, drinks company and TV station under his umbrella. But, could the empire crumble after assault allegations?
Scotland Yard said that a man in his 40s, believed to be Brand, was quizzed over three non-recent sexual offences at a south London police station on Thursday.
Brand's interrogation had come a day after his former employer, the BBC, said it was investigating five complaints about his behavior between 2006 and 2008 when he worked as a radio host.
