ADELE has been raking (and rolling) in the cash, with the global superstar earning over £20,000 each and every day last year.
Tottenham-born Adele earned a staggering £21,500 a day last year as she added to her monster £150 million fortune amid wrapping up her Las Vegas residency – which earned the singer £100m.
And the money that the 36-year-old made each day didn’t come solely from her Las Vegas residency.
The global superstar actually has a range of firms that take in cash.
The firms take in the earnings from her music sales, publishing deals, and live performances – meaning last year, Adele was even making money while sleeping.
In her Melted Stone Publishing Ltd firm, Adele has cash deposits of £13.5m.
The Melted Stone Ltd firm also has £6m in readies in its coffers and her A. Adkins Touring Ltd has a modest £42,000.
Accounts filed to Companies House last month for 2023, revealed that Adele paid £1,549,958 in Corporation Tax across the three firms pointing to earnings of £7.7m.
Adele is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, with sales of over 120 million records worldwide.
The cash she makes continues to roll in from record sales and royalties despite her last album, 30, coming out in 2022.
As well as being named the best-selling female artist of the 21st century in the UK, Adele was also named the best-selling artist of the 2010s decade in the US and worldwide.
Not bad, eh?
And the hitmaker loves to splash her cash, with it definitely not burning a hole in her pocket.
In 2022 she paid £46m for an LA mansion once owned by Sly Stallone.
However, her UK tax bill has also been a constant source of annoyance.
At the time she released her first album 19 – which shifted 31 million copies – she voiced her opposition to the top rate of tax.
The mum-of-one revealed: “I’m mortified to have to pay 50 percent. I use the NHS, I can’t use the public transport any more.
“Trains are always late, most state schools are s*** and I’ve gotta give you, like, four million quid – are you having a laugh?”
Adele’s Weekends with Adele residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas came to an end last year.
The shows, which banked her £100m, ran from November 2022 to November 2024.
The residency was originally scheduled to begin on January 21, 2022, but was postponed due to production delays and COVID-19.
Adele performed two shows each weekend, and her final show was her 100th.
She announced that she would take a break from music after the residency to do other creative things
“I’m so sad this residency is over but I am so glad that it happened, I really, really am,” she said during her final show.
She welled up several times during her final two-hour show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Saturday and admitted: “I’m f****** crying again.
“For f***’s sake. I have been crying all day.”
