Robert Watts, compiler of The Sunday Times Rich List:

What a year for Adele. Such strong record sales and a busy touring schedule propel her into our main list for the first time.

Still in her 20s, if Adele’s career lasts as long as many of the other entries in our list, she has the potential to be the highest-earning British musician of all time.
