That is so great. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I can remember the moment I first felt: \u2018I don\u2019t have to worry about that any more.&#8217; After that, it\u2019s wonderful if you find a project that really needs financing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe went on to reveal his healthy bank account has given him the ability to bring to life projects such as his ABBA stage show &#8216;Mamma Mia!&#8217; and the band&#8217;s ABBA Voyage digital concerts.<\/p>\n<p>\nBjorn said: &#8220;To be able to dream and let an idea develop and then actually do it &#8211; that\u2019s what money is for. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Like &#8216;Mamma Mia!&#8217; or Voyage. But these projects are not just to make money &#8211; it\u2019s to do something worthwhile and fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe insisted he doesn&#8217;t want to &#8220;wallow in luxury&#8221; and prefers to use his money to invest in useful projects, adding: &#8220;I don\u2019t want to become a nouveau riche like many of the English artists. They wallow in luxury; they don\u2019t know what to do with their money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe cost of producing ABBA Voyage soared to \u00a3135 million before the virtual concerts kicked off in a purpose-built venue in London in 2022 and it&#8217;s now believed to be bringing in a massive \u00a31.5 million per week.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe show was recently extended to run until 2026. <\/p>\n<p>\nIn the interview with The Times, Bjorn admitted the show could run for a long time, but he&#8217;s not sure whether it could continue if one of the band members passed away.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: &#8220;That remains to be seen. We are allowed to stay in our current venue till 2029, but ticket sales might drop, you never know. But is it right to continue when someone is dead? That\u2019s a big ethical question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/abbas-bjorn-ulvaeus-insists-money-matter-1417147.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 April 2025 Multimillionaire Bjorn Ulvaeus is adamant &#8220;money doesn&#8217;t matter&#8221; to him.
