HOW HE MADE IT: Ed has nearly doubled his wealthwithin the past year, thanks to his two-year divide tour.His ability to compose catchy choruses has seen Ed shift 150m records worldwide. Even his cast-offs are mammoth hits, for the likes of Justin Bieber, Rita Ora and Anne-Marie. The £5.9m he paid on tax last year barely dents this fortune.

HOW HE SPENDS IT: Taking over most of Suffolk with his ever-expanding "Sheeranville" mini-village. After buying a 16th-century farmhouse in 2012, Ed's since splurged a further £3.7m snapping up nearby properties. The estate has become so big, it now includes a £500k wildlife pond, private beach, four-room treehouse, five-a-side football pitch, and a pub in his garden dedicated to wife Cherry Seaborn. Then there's the £20m mansion in London. Ed's no tightwad when it comes to his mates, either, buying Porsches and Range Rovers for his crew.
