Teen soul singer Stone makes it onto rich list

Teenage soul singer Joss Stone has made it into a rich list of Britain’s young music millionaires.

The 17-year-old has earned £5m (€7.3m) since bursting on to the music scene. She is one of the highest new entries in the rich list compiled by The Sunday Times.

Ireland's Ronan Keating is joint fourth with earnings of £10m (€14.6m).

Charlotte Church, Coldplay, Daniel Bedingfield, Will Young and the Beckhams are also on the list.

To qualify as young music millionaires, entrants have to be aged 30 or under.

At number one is Dhani Harrison, son of the late Beatle George Harrison, who has inherited a £140m (€203.8m) fortune.

Second are the Beckhams – who qualify thanks to Victoria’s former singing career – with £75m (€109.2m) between them.

The couple were worth £65m (€94.6m) last year but have piled on another £10m (€14.6m) thanks to David’s lucrative endorsements.

John Lennon’s son Sean is the highest new entry at number three with a personal wealth of £20m (€29.1m).

Coldplay’s Chris Martin and fellow band members Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion share fourth place with Ronan Keating and former Spice Girl Emma Bunton – each have a £10m (€14.6m) fortune.

Singers Craig David and Will Young follow with £9m (€13.2m) and £8m (€11.6m) respectively.

Charlotte Church has £6m (€8.7m), as does new entry Denise Van Outen, who has made her money through TV work, music and property investments.

Joss Stone is one of the highest new entries, at number 14 with £5m (€7.3m), but The Sunday Times predicted the figure could rise “spectacularly” in the next year thanks to booming record sales.

She is also set to sign a lucrative deal to become the new face of Gap.
