Adele made nearly $31,320 a day last year despite not releasing a record — or even touring.
The talented singer’s proven that even when she’s at home looking after her six-year-old son Angelo, she’s making plenty of dough.
According to her latest companies’ accounts, she made over $11.2 million profit after taxes, which works out a staggering $30,953 a day.
Despite the singer not releasing an album for three years and finishing her world tour last year, it hasn’t stopped her from raking in the cash.
Her two companies which look after album sales and royalties, Melted Stone Ltd. and Melted Stone Publishing Ltd., were performing very healthily, with the former making a net profit of $631,037 and the latter $10.7 million.
The 30-year-old singer songwriter can now class herself as one of the richest in showbiz, as she’s also got nearly $53.5 million “cash in the bank,” according to the balance sheets lodged at Companies House.
In the last two years, Adele has made nearly $23.5 million from her businesses without having to even record an album — the last one being called “25” in 2015, which went to No. 1 all round the world.
In February, it was also revealed that she made $185 million from her last tour, Adele Live, through ticket sales and souvenirs. Her company Remedy Touring LLP pocketed $91.3 million profit and Adele personally made $54.8 million.
Forbes estimated her fortune at $85 million in 2016 and said she was the second highest paid woman on their music list.
In her bumper year of 2015, when she released an album and then did a 107-date world tour, she paid as much in taxes — $5.2 million — as Facebook.
But Adele hasn’t always been happy to pay her taxes, once complaining to Q Magazine: “I’m mortified to have to pay 50 percent. I use the NHS, I can’t use public transport any more. Trains are always late, most state schools are s—t, and I’ve gotta give you, like, four million quid – are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from ’19,’ I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly open fire.”
Adele is back in the UK is working towards an album release date of Christmas 2019.
A number of musicians have been approached for work on an album, which will be her first in three years.
