Pop sensation Dua Lipa leads the Under 30 Rich List, out-earning other young UK celebs with a jaw-dropping nine-figure fortune.
Global pop sensation Dua Lipa has officially cemented her status as a financial powerhouse, topping heat magazine’s prestigious annual Rich List for stars under 30 in the UK and Ireland.
The singer-songwriter, whose career continues to ascend to new heights, boasts an awe-inspiring fortune estimated at £129 million, a figure that places her miles ahead of her nearest competitors.
The “Levitating” hitmaker’s monumental wealth is largely attributed to a highly successful period of touring, savvy brand partnerships, and a diversifying portfolio of ventures.
Experts point to her massive, £83-million-grossing Radical Optimism tour as a primary revenue driver, complemented by her successful podcast, book club, acting roles, and lucrative collaborations with luxury brands such as Porsche and Versace.
Her ability to consistently generate not just hit music but also significant commercial opportunities underscores.
Lipa’s commanding nine-figure lead highlights the sheer scale of her financial success compared to other young British and Irish celebrities. The gap between her and the rest of the top five is considerable, reinforcing her dominant position in the youth celebrity economy.
The top ranks of the heat Rich List 2025 are occupied by a mix of actors, musicians, and reality TV stars:
- 1. Dua Lipa (£129m): Pop music megastar and entrepreneur.
- 2. Tom Holland (£35.7m): Spider-Man actor and co-founder of the Bero alcohol-free beer brand.
- 3. Lewis Capaldi (£35m): Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter.
- 4. Millie Bobby Brown (£24m): Stranger Things actress and producer.
- 5. Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury (£22.1m): Reality TV personalities and successful brand entrepreneurs.
The vast difference between the first and second-place fortunes—a remarkable £93.3 million—underscores the exceptional trajectory of Lipa’s global career.
Tom Holland, while securing a strong second place, has amassed his wealth through major Hollywood roles, including his estimated £7.5 million per Spider-Man film, and new business ventures like Bero.
Beyond the UK and Ireland, heat magazine also compiled a list of the wealthiest international stars under 30. This list is topped by reality star and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner, whose staggering fortune is estimated at £540 million.
Jenner is followed by model Hailey Bieber (£223m), musician Billie Eilish (£80m), the K-Pop group Blackpink (£63m), and model Kendall Jenner (£48m).
In a nod to philanthropic impact, the magazine also highlighted the most generous celebrities. Leading this list is music legend Sir Elton John, who reportedly gave away an astonishing £27 million last year. He is followed by Harry Styles, who raised £5.2 million for charity, and Ed Sheeran, who donated £2 million to various good causes.
In related news that showcases the star’s opulent lifestyle choices, sources indicate Dua Lipa and her fiancé, actor Callum Turner, have recently been house-hunting in the sun-drenched regions of Southern Europe.
The couple, who got engaged last Christmas, have reportedly engaged a property expert to scout for luxury holiday homes in both Andalusia, Spain, and Portugal.
A source close to the star confirmed the motivation is to find “a sunny bolthole to enjoy with their families,” with the key requirements being “nice weather” and properties offering ample space to comfortably host their combined family and friends.
This search for a multi-million-pound private retreat further solidifies the scale of Lipa’s extraordinary financial liquidity and personal success.
