The list, compiled based on estimated earnings, reveals a mix of talent across music, film, and television, showcasing the accomplishments of Britain’s brightest young stars.
Harry Styles, the 30-year-old former member of One Direction, has seen his career skyrocket since the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2016. He went solo soon after, debuting with a self-titled album in 2017 that marked his transition from boy band icon to a critically-acclaimed solo artist. Styles continued to build his music empire with two more albums, *Fine Line* in 2019 and *Harry’s House* in 2022, both of which have achieved tremendous commercial success. His single “As It Was” dominated the charts worldwide, breaking records and cementing Styles’ status as a global music sensation. In addition to his music career, Styles has made a name for himself in Hollywood, appearing in films such as *Dunkirk*, *Don’t Worry Darling*, and *My Policeman*. Recently, he wrapped up an extensive world tour, performing to sold-out stadiums and delighting fans on a global scale, all of which have contributed to his substantial wealth.
Second on the list is Dua Lipa, 29, whose incredible rise in the music industry has been just as remarkable. Her net worth of £104 million is a testament to her ability to transcend traditional pop music boundaries and establish herself as a powerhouse in both music and fashion. The singer achieved global success with her 2020 album *Future Nostalgia*, which brought hits like “Don’t Start Now” and “Levitating” that dominated streaming charts and radio stations.
