===Wealth=== According to ''[[The Sunday Times (UK)|The Sunday Times]]'' [[Sunday Times Rich List|Rich List]] of the UK's richest millionaires, Rice is worth Β£155 million as of 2020.<ref name="wealth1" /> In 2015, Rice expressed his indebtedness to the journalist [[Angus McGill]] as "the man responsible for Andrew Lloyd Webber and I having our first song recorded". Speaking at McGill's funeral,<ref>[https://47shoelane.wordpress.com/tributes/angus-mcgill/ "Angus McGill: The funeral and the wake"]. ''47 Shoe Lane'', 29 October 2015, retrieved 25 September 2017.</ref> Rice told a tale from his days at EMI about trying to rig the results of the ''[[London Evening Standard]]'' Girl of the Year competition in 1967. As "glorified office boy", Rice was writing songs with Lloyd Webber and desperate to find anybody to record one of their songs. Rice and colleagues filled in 5,000 entry forms overnight voting for the contestant who was a singer, and delivered them to McGill, who supervised the competition. Rice said it was "a disgraceful act of dishonesty on my part... without actually breaking the rules". As a result, the ''Standard'' proclaimed two Girls of the Year and Rice's choice, [[Ross Hannaman|Rosalind ("Ross") Hannaman]],<ref>Sondheim and Lloyd-Webber: The New Musical, Stephen Citron, Oxford University Press, 2001, p. 114</ref> was signed to EMI, where she made her first record. Rice said at the funeral: "I owe [Angus] an awful lot, which is just one of the reasons why I'm here today."
