Adele tops rich list
ADELE has again topped the rich list for Britain’s under-30s after making £15million last year.
The Rolling In The Deep singer’s fortune reached a dizzying £147.5m after a bumper 2017.
She maintains her place at the top of Heat magazine’s rich list.
But there will be a new name at the top next year – as the 30-year-old will no longer be eligible.
Ed Sheeran, 27, took second place with a fortune of £97m, despite paying more tax last year than either Amazon or Starbucks.
He replaced Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, 29, who dropped into third place with his fortune of £87m.
Daniel’s co-star Emma Watson, 28, sits in fifth on the list, with the Hermione actress’s bank account sitting at a healthy £55m.
Separating the Hogwarts duo was ex-One Direction star Harry Styles, 24, who was sitting pretty with £58m.
In sixth place was the girl band Little Mix – up from 10th – with a whopping
£48m. They rake in the megabucks with a series of deals for merchandising everything from fashion dolls to dry shampoo. Following Little Mix and making up the rest of the top 10 were the other former members of One Direction.
Niall Horan, 25, is on £46m, Louis Tomlinson, 26, has £44m, Liam Payne, 25, has a £43m pot and Zayn Malik, also 25, is on £37m.
Star Wars actors John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are newcomers on the list at joint 28th place with £4.6m each.
Reality TV star Spencer Matthews, who recently married model Vogue Williams, makes his debut at 30 with £4.5m.
Heat also said Kylie Jenner has toppled Justin Bieber as the wealthiest young star outside the UK due mainly to her cosmetics line.
The full list of the 30 richest celebrities under the age of 30 will be revealed in this week’s Heat magazine.
