The singer reigns supreme at the top despite taking a break from the limelight since her tour ended last year
Superstar singer Adele has topped the richest British celebrity aged 30 or under for the third year in a row - despite barely working since she finished her world tour last summer. The Hello hitmaker knocked the One Direction boys off the top spot in 2016 and has been riding high ever since.

During 2017, the multi award-winning mum-of-one pocketed £9million from record sales, while the tour earned her a massive £42million.

Ed’s wealth increased from £52million in 2017 to £94million thanks to the money from his third album ÷ and ticket sales from his £225million-grossing two-year world tour.
Much of 29-year-old Daniel Radcliffe’s £87million was amassed during his ten years playing schoolboy wizard Harry Potter.
