Adele Is Now The Richest Ever Female UK Musician.
BBC reports that Adele is now officially the richest ever female musician from the UK, coming in at number 30 on Sunday Times Rich List, which lists the highest earning musicians from the UK and Ireland. The list, which is dominated by male musicians, only features one other female musician and that’s Irish singer Enya at No. 28 with a net worth of £91 million (which is roughly around $130 million).
Adele’s net worth sits at £85 million, or $121 million, while the richest artist on the list, Sir Paul McCartney, has a net worth of £760 million/over $1 billion. Editor of the Sunday Times Rich List, Ian Coxon, 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 £20m away now.”
