Chico
Wed 23rd April 2008
Pop-star Chico has come a long way since his days as a goat herder on the plains of Morocco.
He’s clearly made plenty of cash during his time in the limelight but he could learn a few things from Martin about making a few extra quid a year by being a little more careful.
For one, he has about £400 worth of bank charges he needs to reclaim. If consumers win their long-running battle against the banks regarding these charges, he'll be able to get them back.
Chico could net himself another £100 a year by switching bank account as he only gets paid 0.1% interest by his current provider Barclays, but could get 8.5% by switching to Alliance & Leicester.
However, he admits he doesn't know too much about his finances as his wife tends to look after his money.
Take a peek at what was in Michael Fish's wallet last week.
