Adele is officially the richest, young British star after boosting her wealth by £15 million.
The singer has topped heat magazine’s annual guide to the UK’s wealthiest names aged 30 and under, with an estimated £147.5 million, up from £132 million the year before.
Ed Sheeran has shot to second position with £94 million, usurping Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe who has slipped to third place, with £87 million.
Adele, who celebrated turning 30 with a Titanic themed bash in May, pocketed millions from her world tour, which she wrapped up last summer. She also took home £9 million from record sales.
Former One Direction star Harry Styles took fourth place with £58 million, the highest earning of his ex-bandmates, followed by Emma Watson in fifth with £55 million.
The top 10 also sees Little Mix move from tenth to sixth place with £48 million, thanks to a string of concerts and endorsements.
Styles’ former bandmates complete the top 10, with Niall Horan at £46 million, Louis Tomlinson at £44 million, Liam Payne at £43 million and Zayn Malik at £37 million.
Several stars have made their debuts on the annual list including Star Wars actors John Boyega and Daisy Ridley who are in joint 28th place with £4.6 million each.
Reality TV star Spencer Matthews, who recently welcomed his first child with wife Vogue Williams, placed at number 30 with £4.5 million.
Kylie Jenner has also reportedly toppled Justin Bieber as the wealthiest young star outside the UK, thanks to her lucrative cosmetics line, which could soon see her become the world’s youngest billionaire.
The full list of the 30 richest celebrities under 30 appears in this week’s heat.
