Adele joins the Top 10 highest paid celebrities under 30
Adele has been named as number six in the list of highest paid celebrities under the age of 30. Rolling In The Deep? She's rolling in cash now!
The rich list compiled by Forbes worked out that the Someone Like You singer had earnt a huge £23 million between May 2011 and May 2012. With that she could buy eight Bugatti Veyron Supersports, the most expensive make of car in the world. Or maybe she could buy four private jets with gold fittings and built in DVD players? But if she felt like a casual getaway, she could opt for Katafanga Island just off Fiji – 225 acres of land with a 5000 acres lagoon surrounding it. What’s a girl to do?
The mum-to-be has worked hard for her cash though, having the world’s best selling album last year with 21. The album sold over more than 17 million copies, with four million being brought in the UK alone.
Taylor Swift topped the chart with earnings of a huge £37 million for the same period of time. Other stars in the list included Katy Perry with £29 million, Lady Gaga with £33 million and Rhianna coming out with £34 million pounds. The only male in the top five was Justin Bieber with an estimated £35 million put in the bank this year.
Adding these six super rich celebs together adds up to an almighty £19 billion. That’s only a couple of million short of paying off the public debt in Kazakhstan (er, maybe). Borat would be pleased.
