'Heat' Rich List: Ed Sheeran is the richest star in the UK, Niall Horan is number four

Ed Sheeran has held on to his crown as the richest British celebrity aged 30 and under. That's according to the heat Rich List, an annual guide to the UK and Ireland’s richest young stars.

The 'Shivers' singer, 30, has increased his estimated worth in the past 12 months to a not-too-shabby £236.5m.

10 years on from when he released his first solo single, Ed can now brag the most-streamed single of all time with Shape of You, and the highest-grossing tour of all time (£567m for the ÷ tour).

Mullingar's Niall Horan has bagged himself a fourth spot on the list, earning £57.5m. The former 1D star earned most of his wealth from his boyband days. But he’s also pocketed money in his own right with solo albums and tours.

1D bandmate Harry Styles retains his number two position in the list with £80m.

Little Mix find themselves in third place with £66.7m.
