Little Mix's fortune soars to £28million - without releasing an album last year

Little Mix's fortune has soared to a whopping £28.5million with new figures revealing how they made £1million last year without releasing an album.

Accounts from the band's Eternal Dance report a £928,827 profit for the year ending 31 December 2019.

The company was launched back in 2011 when they met Simon Cowell on the X Factor.

According to The Sun, the numbers were revealed when Jade Thirlwall signed off the paperwork yesterday.

Jade and her bandmates Jesy Nelson, Leigh Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards shot to fame after becoming the first group to win the The X Factor.

Following the release of four platinum certified albums, sixteen singles and a string of high grossing tours, the foursome have charted up a very impressive wealth.

The girls have capitalised on their success between 2018 and 2019 by pursuing a number of projects outside of making hit music.

They released a Pretty Little Thing range, put their name to fragrances and make-up lines and launched their own talent show The Search.

The four have also dipped their toes into individual money-making opportunities, including Leigh Anne's swimwear range In A Seashell.

But despite the band branching out, back in March they vowed they'd break-up rather than have one of them leave individually.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Jade sensationally revealed: “It’s all or nothing with us. We are sisters so if one of us left, that would be it!”

Little Mix were first signed to Simon Cowell's Syco Entertainment but in November 2018 the group confirmed their departure from the record label.

Following a well publicised split from the label, the girls achieved mega stardom they're still enjoying.

The band were accused of making a number of swipes at their old boss this week as they plugged their new reality show The Search.

As they search for budding singles to put in a new band, Little Mix shared the lessons they wished their mentor Simon had helped them with - including be kind, don't get ahead of yourself and don't 'be an arse.'

Jade Thirlwall said: “The after care is essential – that’s the difference between wanting to get on the stage again. Whether they get through or not, our team call them up for a while to see how they’re doing. We’ll support everyone because we’ve been through a similar experience and probably could have benefited from a bit more support along the way.”

While Leigh-Anne said that another tip was not to allow one member to become the “leader”.

“Bands do not work if there is one big ego,” she said.
