Little Mix made history on Tuesday night when they became the first-ever girl band to win Best British Group at the BRIT Awards.
And it's been revealed that the band were raking in the money as well as the awards before lockdown struck.
The X Factor-formed group reportedly made £8 million before the pandemic forced everything to close.
The money - which amounts to £200,000-a-night - came from their LM5 tour dates they managed to complete before the Covid pandemic.
They wowed fans in 40 concerts across the continent between September to December 2019 which boosted their cash flow before the global economy began to close amidst the worldwide pandemic.
The latest figures show their earnings over the 12 months up to the end of August 2020 and they would have been even bigger if they hadn't needed to shelve 21 gigs in June and July.
The tour had been rescheduled to start again on April 28, 2021, but it's been further pushed back until next April.
The figures revealed in the Daily Mail report that the band members were already said to be worth £50million. The latest numbers mean their fortune has grown by almost 20% to in the region of £60million.
The band - new a trio following Jesy Nelson's departure - sent fans into meltdown on Thursday night when they shared a cryptic "hello, it's me your ex" countdown along with a website scheduled for Friday evening.
Fans on Twitter were quick to speculate whether it could be their new song Heartbreak Anthem in which they worked with David Guetta and electronic duo Galantis.
One fan pleaded with the group to release more information and wrote: "TELL US MORE."
Another said: "THAT'S WHAT I CALL BUILDING A HYPE."
And a third commented: "gotta act surprised."
The band reportedly launched an investigation earlier in the year when their first song as a trio was leaked online ahead of the eagerly-awaited launch.
