Adele Net Worth: How Has She Accumulated Her Worth?

Publish date: 2024-09-20

Since releasing her breakthrough song ‘Hometown Glory‘ in 2007, Adele’s music career has kept on strengthening – and Adele net worth is proof of it.

Adele’s second studio album, 21 is the world’s best-selling album of the 21st Century, and she’s now planning to release 30, her first new album in six years. Adele net worth is still flourishing despite taking a long break from her music career.

Adele Rise to Fame

Adele, born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, rose to fame in 2007 with her breakthrough hit “Hometown Glory.” She was 19 when it was released—and just 16 when she wrote it.

In January 2008, Adele released her second single, “Chasing Pavements,” and her debut album, 19. That October, she was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live when Sarah Palin appeared on the show, and it was the highest-rated episode ever at the time, clocking in a whopping 17 million viewers.

It was supposed to be like, a normal show, just me and Josh Brolin—I was the musical guest and he was hosting it. And then we walk in on Saturday and Sarah Palin was there,” Adele once recalled. “We were like, ‘Oh God!’ And it ended up being a huge show, and literally overnight—like, whenever I’ve heard that saying, ‘overnight success,’ I was like, ‘Yeah whatever, they probably worked for it.’ And it was overnight, completely overnight! I was chuffed at that.”

What is Adele’s Net North?

Adele is approximated to be worth $200 million in 2021.

As said, her second studio album, 21 has been considered the world’s best-selling album of the 21st Century, with more than 31 million copies sold. It was authorized 17 x platinum in the U.K. (the highest ever attained by a solo artist) and diamond in the U.S.

Adele has continually filled stadiums to the rafters with her sellout tours and is the owner of 15 Grammy’s and four Brit Awards, to name a few of her accolades.

In 2012, her soundtrack to James Bond: Skyfall won Best Original Song at the Golden Globes.

In 2015, her third studio album broke records for first-week sales in the U.K. and U.S. The track ‘Hello‘ was the first song in the U.S. to sell more than one million copies in the first week of its release.

Adele’s 30, which is dedicated to her son, is due to be released in November 2021, and in the lead up to this, the singer has given an exclusive interview to Oprah about her life since her last album, including her divorce, her son and her weight loss journey.

Millions are expected to tune into An Audience With Adele in the U.K. in November 2021. It’s a special televised concert on ITV.

How Much Does Adele Make Per Concert?

Similar to most music artists, Adele makes the majority of her revenue from touring—and the figures for her concert earnings are truly eye-watering.

Her last tour, which ran from 2016 to 2017 in support of her third studio album, 25, reportedly made a whopping $252 million in ticket and merch sales combined. 

According to the source, the company in charge of her tours—which, we might add, Adele is the sole director of—took a $128 million cut from these earnings, leaving Adele with an impressive $74 million for her pocket. 

This signifies the singer was earning around $685,000 per night during her world tour.

These earnings are only bound to increase, as the “Set Fire to the Fire” singer confirmed her Las Vegas Residency at the Colosseum of Caesars Palace Hotel from January 2022 through April 2022.

 Before announcing the news, a source earlier revealed to The Sun that “Adele has very recently been talking to musicians that she has worked with before to gauge their availability, to see whether they could be in Vegas for the gigs.”

Another insider added, “It is all very exciting. It would make her a lot of money but it would also mean she could have a routine. It would be hugely lucrative for her but also really fun.” According to The Sun’s estimation, this deal alone could double Adele net worth.

How much did Adele and Simon Konecki’s Divorce Cost?

Adele wedded Simon Konecki in 2016 after five years of dating. The pair greeted their only son, Angelo, in 2012. 

Adele revealed her separation from Simon in April 2019 after seven years together. “Adele and her partner have separated,” her rep said in a statement to the Associated Press at the time. “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly.” The “Hello” singer quoted irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

In 2020, news broke that Adele did not have a prenuptial agreement with Simon. 

While the details of their divorce were kept mainly private, reports soon disclosed that the former couple reached a $190 million divorce settlement in January 2021. 

According to the source, Adele was ordered by a judge to pay a $140 million majority of this settlement to her ex-husband. The former couple also consented to work out their property and debts through mediation and shared custody of their son.
