Directioners rejoice, all five of the 1D boys made the list: Harry Styles bagged second place with US$107 million, with Niall Horan a close fourth with US$77 million

Fellow X-factor alumni Little Mix came third with an impressive US$89.9 million, but first place went to the almighty Ed Sheeran for the third year in a row

United Kingdom – the land of Kate and William, tea … and very wealthy young celebrities. British entertainment magazine Heat just released its annual list of the richest people in the UK who are 30 years old or younger. And as with previous years, music superstars once again rule the roost – but there are also some surprising new additions. Let’s zero in on the top end and see who raked in the most dough this year, according to the UK’s most diligent celeb-watchers.

1. Ed Sheeran, 30 (US$323 million)

Was there ever any doubt? For the third year in a row, the singer-songwriter has topped the rich list – and no one else even got close. Aside from breaking records left and right (most streamed song on Spotify with Shape of You, highest-grossing tour of all time with the ÷ Tour). Now, he has a new album (cough, “=”), a deal with social media juggernaut TikTok and a new tour on the way.

2. Harry Styles, 27 (US$107 million)

More of a fashion icon nowadays, it’s easy to forget that Harry was once a member of the biggest boy band on the planet. But the former One Directioner can thank his former band for much of his earnings, even while slowly building his own wealth through a fledgling solo music career and acting roles here and there.

3. Little Mix (US$89.9 million)
