ED SHEERAN – EST. $200 MILLION

From releasing his music independently and doing gigs in small venues to becoming one of the top 100 wealthiest musicians in the world, Ed Sheeran has certainly come a long way. This is a much-deserved upgrade, of course, given the impact and how beloved his songs are. He has reportedly sold over 150 million records worldwide and has also been named the second most-streamed artist on Spotify. Testaments to how talented the singer-songwriter really is.

Most of Ed’s income comes from tours. His “Divide” concert tour received a total of 780 million US dollars from March 2017 to August 2019. Sheeran began recording music in 2004 and independently released the album “Spinning Man”. He released his first EP in 2005 and then released two albums in the next three years. He has even received acting credit. Aside from a cameo in Game of Thrones, he has also had a role in the 2019 film, Yesterday.
