Who doesn't love Adele, right? Good things just keeps coming for the British singer. This year, she reportedly got engaged, selling packed arena every night and now, let's say hello to Britain's richest celebrity under 30.
For three years in a row, One Direction has been reigning this spot, not until their split. Although, they are not doing bad at all either. Original band members are still in the charts with Zayn Malik taking in £38 million placing him in fourth and making him the richest of the group. Harry Styles ranks in the fifth slot with £37 million , while Liam Payne has an estimated £34 million putting him seventh position. Other band members Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson snatched the eight and ninth slots with £34 million and £33 million respectively.
Unfortunately, One Direction has been dethroned by the new "queen" Adele as the richest British celebrity under 30 this year. Mirror reports, the hitmaker is reported to have an estimated net-worth of £92 million, which is double the figure on last year's Heat list with £38.1 million and placing her at the fourth place.
Huge factor of Adele's success was her album 25, which hit 27.7 million YouTube views within 24 hours of its release, Heat World published. After a week of being released, it was the fastest-selling album, which has sold over 20 million copies to date. Her Adele Live tour is expected to profit at least $150 million. In addition, she just signed the biggest record deal given to a UK singer with a £90 million contract under Sony. The site revealed, the All I Ask singer could be even richer, if she just starts accepting endorsement deals and allow her music to be on music streaming services.
Of course, "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, and co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are still on the list even after years since the franchise ended. Radcliffe comes in second place with an estimated worth of £74 million, the lovely Emma Watson ranks at sixth place with £35.7 million and Rupert Grint, also known as Ron Weasley, ends the top 10 list with £29.3 million. While, newbie Ed Sheeran jumps in the list to third place with an estimated wealth of £45 million.
Suzy Cox, Heat editor said, "Adele has been unstoppable this year with her album release and stadium tour, so it comes as no shock that she has come out on top. Despite their break-up, the One Direction boys have managed to stay in the top ten but it will be interesting to see where they all stand next year after the release of their solo material."
