As a former take thatter as a youngster (ages 7 to about 12 I think) it shattered my illusions. I thought they were all nice boys 
Oh, and Jason did give Lulu one

i think that is why he's so twisted. He wanted to give Gary one but he spurned him and is now married with kids it still eats away at him that he will never get to have him. so sad!

Really quite sad - Robbie's astonishingly rich but slightly unhinged, Gary's personally happy but professionally a failure, and the other three are just marking time, telling people that they "used to work with Robbie Williams, you know". Having said all of that, there are none of them who appear to have done badly out of their five years of hard work.
I think the only one who really has it sorted is Gary - family seems fine, he has a sufficiency of cash, and the writing royalties which will presumably keep rolling in for as long as RW is successful (and the inevitable Take That re-releases keep selling). Pity his house is so nasty, mind you ......

Yeah, his pad was a bit MTV Cribs full of chintzy ornaments and stuff.
RW made a big mistake by not attending the meeting at the end though, he had an opportunity to make amends face to face in an adult way but decided to behave in a way that wasnt too dissimilar to when he had just left the band. Sad ending IMO.

Yeh, Gary certainly isn't short of a few bob because he get's all his royalties. He earns more than Robbie.
SO much more money in song writing
Always had a lot of time for Gary Barlow.
But it goes to show that that much success (and money) can really *** you up....
Why do I get the feeling that I'll be reading a headline about Jason Orange topping himself at some stage?
The rest of them will carry on.

From what I saw:
Jason - mentally ill (suicide watch anyone?)
Gary - arrogant *****
Robbie - too honest/unhappy
Mark - nice guy
Howard - typical Manc scally
All of them - definitely bi-sexual.

I'd be more accurate in saying that Gary is worth more.....
However, think of who Gary Barlow has written for over the years (for a clue as to how successful he's been, if you looked at his gold disc "hall of fame", the one side was Take That, the other side was "everything else" - wasn't exactly a bare wall
)Have a look Here for a few of his other writing credits
not exactly nobby-nobodys!!! I'm not denying that RW has been/is successful, however, it has mostly been when writing with someone else - his biggest hits have been co-writing jobs. Once you also take into account production cuts (again something that Gary Barlow's True North production company does), that's half the royalties, + additional production points based on sales - a loada wedge.
Either way, a very nice way to earn a living!!!
