Who is Rich Paul and what is his net worth as Adele engagement rumours continue

The rumours that Adele and Rich Paul are soon to be engaged won’t go away, even if the British singer did her best to quash them in a recent Elle interview.

The pair have been dating in public for more than a year, and the fact that the 34-year-old singer recently said she’d never felt love like that for Paul before – is hardly going to do much to dampen the speculation. The couple are currently renovating a mansion in Beverly Hills together that will suit both their family’s needs, with Adele saying that she wants to have more kids in the future.

She said: “I definitely want more kids. I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music. But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas. I wanna f*****g nail it.”

Who is Rich Paul?

Rich Paul is a 40-year-old sports agent from Cleavland, Ohio, who represents some of the biggest NBA stars in the game, such as LeBron James. Paul’s career has taken an unlikely trajectory, and got into the sports business world after a chance meeting with LeBron while selling vintage sports jerseys out the back of his truck.

LeBron was so impressed with Paul’s collection that the pair became friends, with the 40-year-old soon working under the Lakers player’s then agent, Leon Rose. In 2012, both LeBron and Paul left Rose’s management agency as Paul set up his own company Klutch Sports with the 37-year-old as his first and biggest client.

Such has been Paul’s success that the NBA tried to create a rule to ban agents from entering the business without a college degree but this has since been rescinded after a backlash that said it was discriminatory. The CEO of Klutch Sports joined the board of directors of the United Talent Agency after they had contacted him to ask him to run their sports division.

What is Rich Paul’s net worth?

Rich Paul’s net worth is believed to be around $120m (£100m) to date but the renowned sports agent has negotiated more than $1bn worth of NBA contracts through his agency. With Adele’s net worth estimated to be around $220m (£182m) it would seem the pair are creating a dynasty of sorts together, and their recent purchase of Sylvester Stalone’s old Beverly Hills mansion for $58m (£48m) would suggest as much.
