- BY SHERNA NOAH

Adele has boosted her wealth by £15 million – maintainin­g her spot as the richest young British star.

The singer tops heat magazine’s annual guide to the UK’s wealthiest names aged 30 and under, with an estimated £147.5 million.

Daniel Radcliffe has slipped to third place, with £87 million, while Ed Sheeran climbs to second position with £94 million.

Adele, 30, earned millions from her world tour, which finished in the summer of 2017, and that same year she pocketed £9 million from record sales.

She had an estimated £132 million in last year’s published rankings.

The top 10 also sees Little Mix move from 10th to sixth place this year with £48 million, partly thanks to concerts and endorsemen­ts, from dry shampoo to fashion dolls.

Harry Styles is in fourth place at £58 million, the highest earning ex-One Direction star, followed by actor Emma Watson at £55 million.

Styles’ former bandmates complete the top 10, with Niall Horan at £46 million, Louis Tomlinson at £44 million, Liam Payne at £43 million and Zayn Malik at £37 million.

Star Wars actors John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are newcomers on the list at joint 28th place with £4.6 million each.

Reality TV star Spencer Matthews makes his debut at number 30 with £4.5 million.

The magazine also said Kylie Jenner has toppled Justin Bieber as the wealthiest young star outside the UK, thanks to her cosmetics line.
