Stars such as Harry Styles, Adele and Dua Lipa sit among self-made entrepreneurs and aristocrats on The Sunday Times Young Rich List.
Top of the newspaper’s “35 richest people under 35” is the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor – Prince George‘s godfather.
The 32-year-old inherited his title and 300 acres of land across London’s Belgravia and Mayfair at the age of 25.
His Grosvenor Group real estate portfolio, which extends throughout 43 cities and 10 countries, is worth £9.87bn.
Nine of the 38 (some of their fortunes are equal) on the list have their families to thank for their wealth – but the rest earned it themselves.
The original Sunday Times Rich List has also been released for 2023, revealing that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty lost £500,000 a day last year – but are still worth an estimated £529m.
Top of the list for another year running is Gopi Hinduja and his family, who have seen their wealth increase £6.53bn to £35bn. It is the largest fortune ever recorded in the list and comes after the head of the family, 87-year-old Srichand Hinduja, died this week.
Popstars feature prominently on the Young List, with Ed Sheeran’s £300m fortune at seventh, followed by Adele at ninth with £156m.
Harry Styles is at joint 13th with £150m. His latest album Harry’s House was the best selling UK album of 2022. He is still on his 170-date Love On Tour, which will see him pocket a quarter of ticket sales.
His former One Direction bandmates Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson feature lower down – both with £54m at 29th.
Singer Dua Lipa, who also models and stars in the recent Barbie film, appears 21st with an estimated worth of £75m at the age of 27.
She is joint youngest on the list, with gaming developer Daniel Knight (worth £50m) and AU Vodka founders Charlie Morgan (worth £55m) and Jackson Quinn (also worth £55m).
Sterling richer than his captain
Golfer Rory McIlroy, 34, is the highest-earning sport star, valued at £200m, followed by boxer Anthony Joshua at £150m.
England football captain Harry Kane ranks 32nd with a fortune of £51m, lower down the list than his teammate Raheem Sterling who has £61m to his name.
According to the newspaper, former Wales captain Gareth Bale, who stepped down from the role after they were knocked out of the Qatar World Cup, is the highest-earning footballer with £70m.
Meanwhile, Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson rank 18th and 24th respectively.
Five went to same Worcestershire school
Among the lesser-known names is 30-year-old Ben Francis who founded the sportswear brand Gymshark.
As chief executive and co-founder, he has a 71% stake, reportedly worth £1.5bn – gaining him fourth position on the list with a net worth of £900m.
His co-founder and school friend Lewis Morgan is 11th on the list with £160m.
Three of their peers from South Bromsgrove High School in Worcestershire also feature on the list.
Reiss and Kris Edgerton who founded a watch business instead of joining the army, and Reece Wabara a former under-20s England footballer who founded the fashion brand Maniere De Voir.
