Celebrity rich list: Who beat Harry Potter and Harry Styles?
Ed Sheeran has claimed Adele’s former title as Britain’s wealthiest star aged 30 and under.
The 28-year-old is worth an estimated £170m, after nearly doubling his worth over the last year.
Ed Sheeran has doubled his wealth in the space of a year
The Shape Of You singer replaced Adele in the top spot, as the 31-year-old Skyfall songstress’s age means she is no longer eligible to appear in Heat magazine’s annual list.
Suffolk-dwelling Sheeran has been working hard to bring in the cash, playing his record breaking Divide Tour to more than seven million fans across more than 250 shows since March 2017.
He’s also written songs for other artists including Justin Bieber, Anne-Marie and Rita Ora, with the inevitable royalties rolling in.
The young musician also made it onto the Sunday Times Rich List 2019 earlier this year.
Adele can no longer take the title, due to her age rather than lack of wealth
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe took second place in Heat’s list with an estimated wealth of £90m.
The 30-year-old has the boy wizard to thank for his impressive ranking.
One Direction star Harry Styles came in at number three with an estimated fortune of £64m.

Girl group Little Mix, actress Emma Watson and model Cara Delevingne also made an appearance in the list.
It’s been quite a year for Stormzy, who was a newcomer in this year’s list
Grime artist Stormzy was the highest new entry at number 14, following a game-changing year after headlining at Glastonbury.
The 26-year-old from Croydon is reportedly worth £12m.
