Adele has been crowned as Britain's richest ever female musician.

The singer, whose third album '25' came out on XL Recordings last year, is worth £85 million ($122m), according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

Her latest album was integral in making her the wealthiest female, with over 15m global sales generating her around £35m since it was released.

Unsurprisingly, Calvin Harris, a regular topper of the Forbes DJ Rich List, appears in the Sunday Times report, sitting at number 27 with a worth of £95m ($136m).
