davieG Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Whether you love her, hate her or are Indifferent to her she's the one with £20million so there's plenty out there willing to make her rich. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/17679600 Adele has become the richest young musician in the UK, with an estimated fortune of £20m. Last year's Sunday Times Rich List estimated her to be worth £6m but massive sales of her album 21 have helped her gain another £14m in the past 12 months. Adele has beaten other young stars such as JLS and Jessie J to the top spot. Cheryl Cole is second equal on the list with Leona Lewis, with each having fortunes valued at £12m. Only two of the top 10 richest young musicians are men. Both Craig David and Paolo Nutini are joint sixth, with £8m apiece. Daniel Radcliffe is still the richest actor under 30. His latest film The Woman In Black has helped him to amass a total of £54m, up from £48m last year.The rest of the top of the chart is dominated by women, including Charlotte Church (£8m), Florence Welch (£7m) and Lily Allen (£6m). His Harry Potter co-stars also feature on the list, with Rupert Grint thought to be worth £24m. Emma Watson features on both the lists for actors and models and has a fortune of £26m. Robert Pattinson has made the biggest increase in his fortune. His worth has gone from £32m in 2011 to £40m this year. He is second on the list behind Daniel Radcliffe. JLS and Jessie J are the only new pop stars to appear on the rich list for young musicians.

jonthefox Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 I like her music, but hate her voice. (the talking one). Still,i suppose for £20 million i could endure the cackle.
Stevosevic Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Thought Jessie J might be up there. Doesn't she do a lot of song writing for acts in America?
Webbo Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 90% of the figures quoted in these rich lists are pure guess work. You can estimate what someone earns but you can't know what expenses are incurred or what investments these people have.
Houdini Logic Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 'Both Craig David and Paolo Nutini are joint sixth, with £8m apiece' What the hell is wrong with the general public?! And for how many more years is Craig David going to pretend to be under 30?
Darkon84 Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Thought Jessie J might be up there. Doesn't she do a lot of song writing for acts in America? Thats what I was thinking. Didn't she write stuff for Rihanna and Beyonce before she started singing herself as well.
accessory Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 90% of the figures quoted in these rich lists are pure guess work. You can estimate what someone earns but you can't know what expenses are incurred or what investments these people have. Rupert Murdoch has a knack of finding these things out...
Darkon84 Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 How the hell is Leona Lewis joint second? More like, how the hell is Cheryl Cole classed as a musician?!
Stevosevic Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Thats what I was thinking. Didn't she write stuff for Rihanna and Beyonce before she started singing herself as well. I believe so. Would have thought she was worth more than £6million.
flowwolf Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 She is not a musician she is a singer ( alleged ) and a more miserable cow you couldn't wish to meet . Hate her slash your wrists songs and her pathetic attempt to have that mid west yank drawl so as to peddle her cack over there. ugh !
Trav Le Bleu Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 M.O.R sells. I was going to say something similar but less politely. That list is like a list of mundanity.
Haydos Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 She is not a musician she is a singer ( alleged ) and a more miserable cow you couldn't wish to meet . Hate her slash your wrists songs and her pathetic attempt to have that mid west yank drawl so as to peddle her cack over there. ugh ! You know singing is music right?
