DUFFY STILL IN THE RICH LIST

Duffy still in the rich list top ten
walesonline April 12 2012

Adele's extraordinarily successful year sees her top today's 2012 Young Music Millionaires Top 20 with a £20m fortune. Adele has more than trebled her wealth after the phenomenal worldwide success of her second album, 21.  The 23-year-old songstress, who is from Tottenham in north London but whose father is from Penarth, is now worth £20m, an increase of £14m on her wealth in 2011. That puts her £8m ahead of the fortunes of Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis and Katie Melua, who are in equal second place – each worth £12m on the list which only includes those aged 30 and under. Charlotte Church (£8m) and Duffy (£6m) also feature highly in the young musicians list, in which newcomers Jessie J and JLS also do well.

The Young Music Millionaires Top 20 is part of The Sunday Times Rich List 2012, which will be published on April 29.
