Dua Lipa Named Youngest Person on 40 Under 40 Rich List
Dua Lipa has broken a hefty record. The 29-year-old is officially the youngest individual named on “The Sunday Times” 40 Under 40 Rich List. The “Levitating” singer has an estimated worth of £115 million! This makes her not only the youngest person but also the only celebrity under the age of 30 to appear on “The Sunday Times’” annual list. This list is said to showcase Britain’s wealthiest individuals under 40.
According to the publication, Lipa ranks No. 34 in the 40 Under 40 category. While the list primarily includes British artists, entrepreneurs, property owners, and financiers of all sorts, it isn’t limited to only British citizens. Instead, it also features individuals who live and work in the United Kingdom.
Dua Lipa Makes ‘The Rich List’
Others who made the list include international superstar Adele. The “Hello” singer has an estimated net worth of £170 million, while former One Direction member Harry Styles is worth £225 million, and 34-year-old Ed Sheeran has an estimated £370 million.
Major names on the full “Rich List,” which tracks the 350 wealthiest people in the U.K. Others who have been on the list before include old-time music legends who have now amassed their younger selves’ net worth, such as Elton John with £475 million, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger with both approximately a net worth of £440 million, and Sir Paul McCartney. The Beatles member holds the distinction of being the only billionaire musician on the list, ranking in 151st place.
Lipa’s financial success follows a string of accomplishments. This includes several accolades, such as three Grammy Awards, multiple Brit Awards, two platinum-certified albums, and 11 platinum singles. Her major hits, “Don’t Start Now” and “Levitating,” are some of her most prominent singles, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
‘Training Session’
In 2024, she released her third studio album, “Radical Optimism,” through Warner Records. This was the first full studio album since her release in 2020 with “Future Nostalgia.” The new 2024 album was met with critical acclaim and strong commercial performance. It’s preceded by three fan-favored singles, including “Illusion,” “Training Session,” and “Houdini,” which all peaked in the top ten of the UK Singles Chart. They also went to place in the top fifteen for the Billboard Global 200.
Lipa’s success also comes after she has toured in the US and internationally, recently headlining the Glastonbury Festival, adding to her busy schedule.
Beyond music, Lipa has also built a successful brand portfolio, which has helped her earn a reputation around the world. She has worked with high-profile fashion and luxury brands. Some brands include Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Puma, and Pepe Jeans. She is also the face of several major automotive brands, including Porsche and Jaguar, expanding her influence well beyond the recording studio.
