Adele adds approximately $50 million (£35 million) to her fortune in one year…
The whole world knows Adele is a globally successful artist – and to confirm just how successful she is the London-born artist has claimed a spot on the young musicians’ rich list.
Her fortune has sky-rocketed since she released her latest album titled ’25’ last year, and her fortune now amounts to $120 million (£85 million). Before the release of her latest album Adele took a few years away from the music industry, but this doesn’t seem to have had any effect on her success or her fan-following.
The 27-year-old topped artists like Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran and Sir Cliff Richards.
Ian Coxon, Editor of the Sunday Times Rich List, says “Adele is only 27 so I would see her getting in the main list of the richest 1,000 in a couple of years – she is only £15 to £20 million away now.”
