But they are not quite moneyed enough to make the main Rich List where people must boast wealth of £350m or more.
That includes UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy, though their wealth has fallen.
For those under 35, Ed Sheeran, 32, is ranked the seventh wealthiest with a fortune of £300m, helped by his fast-selling sixth album “Subtract”.
Adele, who is now 35, is in ninth place with £165m. The London-born singer has sold more than 100 million albums, and earlier this year she announced that her lavish Las Vegas residency would be extended. Reportedly, this pays £500,000 per show.
Harry Styles had the biggest-selling UK album last year with “Harry’s House”, and is currently on tour in the UK. The 29-year-old’s wealth is pegged at £150m.
