Dua Lipa banks £25 million DOUBLING her annual earnings as pop star gains on the likes of Adele and Ed Sheeran on the world’s music rich list

Dua Lipa is one step away from making it onto the top 10 richest musical earners on the planet, banking £24.7 million over the past year.

The British pop star – who, last month, released her sophomore album Future Nostalgia – made £11.8 million last year and has now doubled her earnings.

This places her in the realms of music megastars Adele and Ed Sheeran, who sit just below the likes of veterans Sting, Mick Jagger and Elton John.

As reports The Sun, the 24-year-old ‘also has £17.3 million cash in the bank, up from £8.6million 12 months ago’.

The publication sourced the figured from Dua Lipa Live LLP, filed with Companies House.

The songstress – who is London-born to Kosovan-Albanian parents and currently dating Anwar Hadid, brother to supermodels Gigi and Bella – proved her star power this week as she was bestowed the opening lines in Radio 1’s charity single Times Live There, to help battle the global COVID-19 pandemic.

A music industry source told The Sun: ‘Dua has quietly gone about her business, and is now one of pop’s most successful performers. The latest accounts show she could be heading towards the same earnings bracket as Ed Sheeran.

Given she is five years younger, the world really is her oyster. If she continues at this trajectory, she will be rivalling Adele soon.’
