Rolf Harris 'earns up to £1,300 a day' from Stafford Prison
Rolf Harris is earning up to £1,300 every day from his cell at Stafford Prison, it has been claimed.
The convicted paedophile is said to be making the money from a host of investments.
His earnings have reportedly shot up by £290,000, it has been suggested, with his companies earning £8.5 million. It comes after he was sentenced for five years and nine months for sex attacks on children.
His fellow inmates at the Category C Stafford Prison make around £7 a day performing chores, but 84-year-old Harris is said to be earning up to £1,300.
Harris invested much of his multi-million pound earnings from his long-running career as a TV star, musician and artist.
He owns a home on the River Thames and his total assets could be worth more than £15m. Harris also earns interest on £2.3m in cash and the stock-market value of £6.2m of shares owned by his firms continues to rise.
A prison source said of his earnings: "It won't go down too well that they are having to work to earn a few pounds when he is getting richer by doing nothing."
Last month, it was reported the shamed star is said to have been lampooning prisoners at HMP Stafford in trademark cartoons in a bid to try to build himself a new reputation.
