It is the third time the 30-year-old music star has taken top spot in Heat Magazine’s The Heat Rich List 2021.

How much is Ed Sheeran worth?

The Shape Of You, Perfect and Thinking Out Loud singer is thought to have increased his worth over the past 12 months.

Who was in second place?

Former One Direction singer Harry Styles, 27, came second in the list with an estimated worth of £80 million.

Heat Magazine said that, in addition to his career in the entertainment industries, he has made “savvy investments, including a new live music arena in Manchester”.
