The "Heat Rich List 2021", compiled by Heat Magazine revealed that in the last year, Sheeran has increased his estimated worth by £26.5 million ($36 million).
The second-richest celebrity after Sheeran is English singer-songwriter Harry Styles, whose overall fortune is estimated to be £80 million ($109 million).
The singer shot to fame as part of "One Direction" (1D), considered to be one of the most successful English-Irish boy bands ever. The group was formed in London in 2010 and consisted of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik.
Styles has since enjoyed success as a solo artist and acted in movies such as "Dunkirk" (2017) and Marvel's new "Eternals" (2021).
The girl group - "Little Mix" is third on the list, while the fourth position is occupied by Niall Horan, followed by model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne in fifth place.
