Pop superstar Dua Lipa topped the Heat Rich List 2025 on Tuesday – as the UK and Ireland’s 30 wealthiest under 30 celebrities were named.
The singer, 30, – now worth a whopping £129m – has had a huge year with her ongoing Radical Optimism tour and an engagement to actor Callum Turner.
‘Manifesting is a big thing for me’ said Dua last year and it’s clearly working as she has well and truly levitated herself into the mega-rich club.
The last year has been her biggest money-spinner yet, thanks to her £83m-grossing tour.
She’s also got her own podcast and book club, acting career, plus partnerships with Porsche and Versace.
Nine new entries in the top 30 include singer Holly Humberstone, actress Anya Taylor-Joy and actor Leo Woodall while elsewhere Steven Bartlett was crowned the UK’s richest podcaster.

Love Islander Amber recently hit headlines after her Strictly partner Nikita Kuzmin was spotted kissing her on the forehead.
The star, who is in a relationship with West End actor Ben Joyce, was pictured sharing a warm embrace with Ukrainian professional Nikita, 27, on Friday during a break from rehearsals at a north London studio.
Bundled up in warm clothes, the pair paused for coffee, and Nikita gave Amber an affectionate kiss on the head ahead of Saturday night’s Icon Week.
Amber previously told the Daily Mail that she and Nikita had quickly struck up a close bond, having only hours to learn their first routine together when the actress replaced Dani Dyer at the last minute following her ankle injury.
The star avoided a shock early exit during Sunday’s results show, when all four judges chose to keep Amber in the competition over Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, the latest celebrity to leave the series.
Now, sources close to Amber have reacted to the intimate photographs, saying any suggestion she has fallen victim to the show’s ‘curse’ is nonsense.
A source close to Amber told the Daily Mail: ‘Everyone thought Amber would be panicked and worried about being in the dance-off, but that’s not the case.
‘She was not surprised to be there at all. With Strictly it’s an entertainment show, it’s anyone’s game. She actually had a feeling on Saturday that it would be her time in the bottom two.
‘But she’s going into this week feeling positive. There’s no concern or panic from her at all, and she’s still really enjoying her Strictly experience.
‘For Amber, it has never been about winning the show, she’s working hard, she’s humbled, and she feels particularly grateful for all the support she is receiving from the theatre community.’
They added: ‘It’s ridiculous for anyone to believe there’s anything going on between Amber and Nikita.

‘The pictures didn’t affect them at all because they know the truth. Amber was unfazed by it.’
Nikita, who is in a relationship with model Lauren Jaine, was photographed kissing Amber on the head following reports the pair have ‘sizzling chemistry.’
The pictures were taken last Friday after the duo spent more than eight hours training the Cha Cha Cha at a studio in north London.
The full heat Rich List appears in this week’s heat magazine, on sale from Tuesday 28 October and online at heatworld.com.
