List came out today and Jay is ranked 1550, along with a few others.
The article says he is worth 35 million pounds down 5 million pounds since last year:

Jay Kay
RESULTS FOR 2009
Ranking: 1,550=
Worth: £35m
Down: £5m
Source of wealth: Music
Manchester-born Kay, 39, had a quiet 2008 with no new recordings released and with his band, Jamiroquai, playing mainly at summer festivals in Europe, plus shows at private promotional gigs for the launch of the new Audi cars in Russia and Germany. Kay is regarded as shrewd operator, building two studios for £1m and leasing them to Sony, so his profit margin is higher. He collects Ferraris and lives in a Buckinghamshire mansion. His company Jamiroquai last showed £8.59m net assets, which included £1.2m for his cherished cars. But with the lack of activity, our rock expert cuts Kay back to £35m.

Oh it would be obvious he would go down, after all the press with the car incident and how it is so quiet here about the bands news and things. 
It'll go back up when the next album is released and there's gigs and coverage to boot.

This has nothing to do with his wealth, but all the same, for me it's nice to know that he's just as kind to the fans as he was before all the money lined his pockets, and is generally known as a calm and happy cat. I knew him when he was 25, and I can tell you that he was the same then- just loving every minute of what was happening. And he's done some amazing stuff in the years since. THAT is the true testament of a life well-lived; not the money and the cars.
(OK, but sure, they're nice, too).
