Note perfect ... how Adele might look with her cash
By STEVE HAWKES, Business Editor
ADELE has topped the charts again — as Britain’s richest young musician.
The Rolling in the Deep star’s fortune has tripled in the past year to £20million after huge sales of her album, 21.
It’s seen Adele, 23 — who also had a hit with Chasing Pavements — leapfrog Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis, Katie Melua and Joss Stone as the wealthiest pop star under 30 in the UK.
Steve Redmond, of the Entertainment Retailers Association, said: “Adele’s been the success story of the past year by a mile. You only get an Adele once every ten years. It’s success on a ginormous scale.”
Moolah ... the richest young musicians
But Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, 22, tops the Sunday Times overall list for youngsters. He’s worth £54million after starring in blockbuster The Woman in Black.

Daniel’s co-star in the Potter films, 21-year-old Emma Watson, appears in both actors and models charts, with £26million tucked away.
Keira Knightley, 27, also appears in both categories with £30million, and is the highest earning model thanks to her Chanel work.
