Following a successful 12 months, Adele
has made it into the top 10 of the world's highest-paid celebrities
under the age of 30.
The London singer, who is pregnant with her first child, took home $35 million (£23 million) between May 2011 and May 2012 according to US business magazine Forbes.
Her income has now put her in at number six in its top 10 which was dominated by women singers.
Taylor Swift topped the rich list after having made $57 million (£37 million) in the last 12 months. Justin Bieber was holding it strong for the men in the top five, which also included Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
The list is compiled via sales of album, concert sales, film deals, endorsements and advertising deals.
Adele's 2011 album 21 has now sold more than 17 million copies and was named the world's biggest selling album of last year.
Meanwhile, the London singer has reportedly teamed up with composer Dan Wilson, who worked his magic on her chart topper 'Someone Like You', for her new album.
However despite recording new tracks, Adele may not release the record for another few years after announcing her pregnancy.
