Updated March 2026: According to Business Insider, Adele’s net worth is estimated at $220 Million.
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham, north London, England. Her mother, Penny Adkins, was 18 when Adele was born; her father, Marc Evans, left the family when Adele was two years old. She was raised by her mother, who moved the family to Brighton when Adele was nine before returning to London when Adele was 11.
Adele developed an interest in music as a young child, initially drawn to the Spice Girls before discovering artists including Alanis Morissette and Ella Fitzgerald. She attended the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in Croydon, south London, graduating in 2006. Classmates at the BRIT School included Jessie J, Amy Winehouse, and Leona Lewis. She later described the school as having given her the confidence to write and sing. A friend recorded a demo of three original songs on Adele’s MySpace page in 2006, which attracted the attention of XL Recordings, who offered her a record deal.
Adele released her debut album, 19, in January 2008 at age 19. It reached number one in the UK and produced the singles “Chasing Pavements” and “Make You Feel My Love.” The album received the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2009 and went on to become one of the best-selling debut albums in UK chart history.
Her second album, 21 (2011), became the best-selling album of the 21st century, topping the Billboard 200 for a record-setting 24 non-consecutive weeks. Its singles — “Rolling in the Deep,” “Someone Like You,” and “Set Fire to the Rain” — all reached number one globally. At the 2012 Grammy Awards, 21 received six awards including Album of the Year, tying the all-time record for a single album. That same year, Adele recorded “Skyfall” for the James Bond film of the same name, earning her the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2013.
After surgery to repair a benign polyp on her vocal cord, Adele returned with 25 (2015), which broke first-week sales records in both the UK and US — becoming the first album ever to sell over three million copies in a single week in the US. The album earned five Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. Her fourth studio album, 30 (2021), centered on her divorce from Simon Konecki and featured “Easy on Me,” which won the 2023 Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance.
From 2022 through November 2024, Adele headlined “Weekends with Adele,” a two-year residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, widely reported to have earned her more than $2 million per performance. She also performed a two-night outdoor residency in Munich, Germany in August 2024 before an audience of 80,000 per night. After concluding the Las Vegas run in November 2024, Adele announced she would be taking an extended break from music with no new album planned.
Adele married British philanthropist Simon Konecki in a private ceremony in May 2018, having been in a relationship with him since 2011. They share one son, Angelo Adkins, born October 19, 2012. The couple separated in April 2019 and finalized their divorce in March 2021. Adele later described the marriage and its end in detail through her album 30, which she dedicated to Angelo as a letter about the divorce.
Adele has been in a relationship with sports agent Rich Paul since early 2021. Paul represents NBA stars including LeBron James and Anthony Davis through his firm Klutch Sports. The couple purchased a $58 million Beverly Park estate — formerly owned by Sylvester Stallone — together in 2022. By late 2024, reports indicated an engagement. Adele gave a public shoutout to Paul and Angelo at her final Las Vegas residency show in November 2024.
Adele lives primarily in Beverly Hills, California. She has one son, Angelo, and has expressed a desire for additional children. She has spoken publicly about significant personal wellness changes in recent years, describing 2025 as a year focused on family, education, and rest.
Adele’s net worth is estimated at $220 million as of 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth and Parade. Her fortune has been primarily built through album sales and royalties, with major contributions from her two-year Las Vegas residency that ran through November 2024.
Industry reports estimate Adele earned approximately $2 million or more per performance during her “Weekends with Adele” residency at Caesars Palace (2022–2024). Over roughly 100 shows, the residency generated hundreds of millions in total revenue. She also earns an estimated $60,000 per day from streaming royalties alone.
No. After concluding her Las Vegas residency in November 2024 and performing stadium shows in Munich in August 2024, Adele announced she is taking an extended break from music with no new album planned for the foreseeable future. She has described 2025 as a period focused on personal life and education.
Adele was born on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham, London, England. As of March 2026, she is 37 years old. She studied at the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, London, the same school that produced Amy Winehouse and Jessie J.
Adele stands 5 feet 9 inches tall (175 cm). Her statuesque presence and powerful contralto voice have made her one of the most commercially successful solo artists in history, with over 120 million albums sold worldwide.
Adele is engaged to sports agent Rich Paul, founder of Klutch Sports Group and one of the most powerful agents in the NBA. The couple began dating in 2021 and Rich Paul proposed in 2023. Adele was previously married to charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki (2018–2021), with whom she has her son Angelo.
Adele has one son, Angelo Adkins, born on October 19, 2012, with her ex-husband Simon Konecki. Angelo is 13 years old as of 2026, and Adele has spoken extensively in interviews about how much her son has inspired her music, most notably the album 25 and its iconic single “Hello.”
Adele lives in the North Beverly Park area of Los Angeles, California, in a compound valued at approximately $58 million. The gated community is home to numerous other celebrities including Eddie Murphy and Rod Stewart. She moved to Los Angeles from London in part to be closer to her son’s school and her relationship with Rich Paul.
