Simon EmmettOne goes years without working; the other never stops. But it’s paid off handsomely for both of them.
Adele and Ed Sheeran are #1 and #2 on British magazine Heat’s annual Rich List, ranking the wealthiest U.K. stars age 30 and under.
Adele, who’s 30, has increased her wealth from $168 million dollars to $188 million bucks, even though she really hasn’t worked since the summer of 2017, when she wrapped up her world tour. That’s thanks to her record sales, which are huge enough to make up for her lack of time on the road.
As for Ed, who’s 27, he’s increased his wealth from $66.3 million to just under $120 million in the past year, mostly due to his two-year world tour, which has grossed more than $250 million. His album Divide has also been a top seller.
All four members of One Direction, as well as one former one, Zayn, also made the top 10, as did Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.
