Being an international singing superstar has its financial rewards - which Adele has no doubt learned, as the singer is said to earn a massive £41,000 a day.


Accounts revealed by the singer's company Melted Stone show that the singer has £10.3million in the bank, making the savings of the average human being look rather insignificant. The figures also reveal she is due another £4.6million from royalties and other payments.

The cash comes mostly from the success of her second album 21 and of course, singles 'Rolling In The Deep' and 'Someone Like You'. The tracks launched Adele onto the worldwide stage, from humble roots in London, and 21 has gone on to become one of the biggest selling albums of all time, outselling some of the biggest releases in music history.

In comparision, The Sun reports that in the tax year ending April 2012, Melted Stone reported assets of a mere £341,000, proving how fast the star has risen.

It is believed that much of her wealth comes from sales in America.


Rolling In The Deep? Rolling In The Dosh more like it!

Adele isn't keeping the cash to herself however, as she has recently bought her mum a £600,000 flat in London. She has splashed out on a new home for Penny Adkins to say thanks for helping her realise her dream of becoming a singer.

Adkins brought up the 24-year-old pop star alone in a small flat in North London and worked two different jobs, whilst supporting Adele's ambition to sing.

Unfortunately, Adele doesn't share a similar relationship with her estranged father, Mark Evans who left the family home when she was just two-years-old.
