Since she dropped her new single, Hello, her award-winning album 25 and embarked on her mammoth world tour; Adele has been right at the top of our radar.

And not only is she a complete mega babe, Adele is one of one of the biggest celebrities in the world, we simply adore her, so it's probably no surprise that she's now officially the richest female solo artist, with earnings of £40million last year ALONE.

Literally rolling in the deep, eh babes?

According to the BBC, The Sunday Times Rich List reports that Adele's MEGA fortune rose from £85m to £125m – making her the richest solo female musician to feature in the survey.

However, despite Adele earning an eye-watering amount of dollah, she's still only joint 19th in the list of richest musicians – the rest of the list is dominated by men and sees Sir Paul McCartney in the top spot with £780m.

No surprise there then.

Apparently Adele's world tour is probably the biggest reason why her wealth has sky rocketed, as she reportedly earned roughly £500,000 PER NIGHT.

A source told The Sun earlier this year: "Adele was selling out arena after arena every night so her income would definitely have shot up at the same rate throughout the rest of the year."

Just think of all the burritos, cups of tea and Spice Girls albums Adele could buy with all that cold harsh cash?
