Adele's latest album became the fastest selling in UK history.
Now Adele is reaping the rewards having raked in £30million last year, according to newly-released accounts.
The
star, thought to be worth £85million, earned the equivalent of £84,000 a
day in 2015 through her company Melted Stone Limited.
Her
latest accounts are boosted by the staggering sales of her album 25,
released in November, which sold more than 3million copies worldwide in
the first week.
Melted
Stone Limited turned over £30.7million, up from £3.3million the
previous year, and recorded a gross profit of £24.4million, compared to
£2.6million the year before.
Adele
paid herself a dividend of £2.5million, as well as a salary, benefits
and pension equalling £4.8million, bringing her personal take home to
£7.3million
Adele also paid corporation tax of £4million, around the same as Facebook which generated £210million in sales.
The
money poured in after the release of 25 which sold 800,000 copies in
its first week in the UK last November, becoming the fastest selling
album of all time in the UK.
