Few singers in the world can convey such emotion with their voice as the great Adele can. Thanks to her powerful vocals and passionate lyrics, she has resonated with millions worldwide, helping the singer sell just as many records. In fact, her most recent album, 30, released in 2021, is her best selling yet!

Unlike many other celebrities on this list, Adele does not boost her income with endorsements or commercial deals. Like singers from the ’40s and ’50s, Adele believes that endorsements undermine artistic integrity. That only makes her $185 million net worth all the more jaw-dropping!

Jennifer Lopez – $400 Million Net Worth

Latina icon Jennifer Lopez, probably better known as J-Lo, is a woman of many, many talents. She sings, dances, acts, and even runs her own businesses – all while being a mother of two!

Without a doubt, Tom Holland is one of the brightest stars in young Hollywood. Since he first appeared as Peter Parker (Spider-Man) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Captain America: Civil War (2016), he’s become one of Tinseltown’s favorite under-30 actors. In addition to appearing in a total of seven MCU movies, he’s also found time to star in other hits like The Lost City of Z and Onward.

Along the way, Holland has become much more than one of the hottest young actors around – he’s also become one of the wealthiest! Today, Holland’s net worth sits at $18 million. However, as his newest Spider-Man movie just crossed the $100 million mark, we expect Holland’s net worth to jump up soon enough!

Since then, he’s not only produced songs on his own but also alongside techno legends Daft Punk, “Starboy” and “I Feel It Coming.” Now the singer makes just over a million dollars for each of his shows! No wonder his net worth sits at $92 million!

Ed Sheeran – $110 Million Net Worth

While he might not be everyone’s favorite, there’s no question that Ed Sheeran is one of the most successful musicians around today. Starting with his debut album, +, in 2011, Sheeran showed the world just how far one singer-songwriter could go. Thanks to hits like “Thinking Out Loud,” and “Shape of You,” Sheeran now plays all over the world to his millions of fans!

Sheeran not only sells out stadiums around the world, but he’s also sold over 150 million records, resulting in an incredible net worth of $110 million. That’s certainly not bad for someone that was once homeless. That’s right!

Harry Styles – $80 Million Net Worth

When singer Harry Styles auditioned for the reality show The X Factor, the judges didn’t think that Harry Styles was good enough to make the cut. However, producers took a few other contestants and formed the boy band One Direction, creating one of the biggest, most popular boy bands of all time!

However, after a few years with One Direction, Styles decided to try for solo success once again. This time, it stuck! Now, thanks to hits like “Watermelon Sugar,” numerous modeling gigs, as well as his very publicized romance with actress and director Olivia Wilde, Styles is worth $80 million!

Coldplay – $475 Million Net Worth

While Coldplay’s members might most be in the 30s and 40s, that doesn’t stop them from being one of the youngest bands worth over $400 million. In addition to selling millions of records, the band’s lead singer, Chris Martin, has gone on to become one of the most recognizable rock star frontmen in the world.

Right now, like most bands around the world, Coldplay has stopped touring because of the coronavirus. However, they are using the time to start working on their next album, which should be released in the new year. When it does, we suspect that the entire band’s net worth – most notably Martin’s – net worth will grow considerably!

Louis Tomilson – $70 Million Net Worth

Like the other members of the boy band One Direction, including Harry Styles and Zayn Malik, singer Louis Tomilson is still living the high life. However, unlike Styles and Malik, he hasn’t exactly found a ton of success as a solo artist. But that hasn’t stopped him from making serious cash – instead, he joined The X Factor as a judge. After all, who better to judge contestants than a former participant?

While he hasn’t toured in some time, Tomilson is still working at the music game. In 2021, he programmed his own music festival, The Away From Home Festival, and hopes to keep it going in the future!

Sting – $500 Million Net Worth

Over the years, both as a member of The Police and his solo career, Sting has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and earned a total of 17 Grammy awards.

While Sting does not tour as much as he once did, the bassist and singer remains as wealthy as ever with an incredible net worth of $500 million. How? Well, believe it or not, he makes roughly $2,000 a day from radio play royalties alone! That’s right!

Since 1970, he’s released 18 albums on his own, won just as many Grammys, and earned over a billion dollars!

However, McCartney has not made all of his money from the music business. If you didn’t know, he’s also a shrewd investor, making early investments in companies like MPL Communication and Apple.
