Adele tops list of wealthiest young stars in music

Chart star Calvin Harris has been ranked one of the wealthiest young stars in the music world with a fortune estimated at £30m (€37m).

He is second only to pop queen Adele — who has seen her fortune swell by around 50% in a year when she released no new material — who tops The Sunday Times Rich List’s countdown of the biggest financial successes in the music world aged 30 and under.

Superstar DJ Harris has had a string of major hits with nine top singles from his latest album 18 Months and has worked with acts such as Cheryl Cole, Rihanna, and LMFAO. Last year, he was named songwriter of the year at the Ivor Novello Awards.
