Harry Styles' eye-watering weekly wages revealed after smash hit album and stadium tour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HARRY STYLES banked a whopping £872,000 PER WEEK, according to the new accounts filed for his businesses. The ex-One Direction singer's bumper takings from January 2023 to March 2024 break down to around £125,000 a day. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 11 Harry Styles banked a whopping £872,000 PER WEEK, according to the new accounts filed for his businesses Credit: Getty 11 Ed Sheeran has a net worth of £370million Credit: Getty The huge figure is largely thanks to hit album Harry's House and the concluding dates from his widely successful stadium tour. According to financial statements lodged at Companies House last week for Erskine Touring, which deals with his live shows, he raked in £86million. Of that, £75.2million came from gig tickets, with a further £10.8million in merchandise sales. It gave him a mammoth £52.3million profit. His accounts now hold a total of £143million — cementing him on today's Sunday Times Rich List, which has Harry as the fourth wealthiest celebrity under 40, with an estimated fortune of £225million. He is still £145million behind Ed Sheeran whose net worth of £370million put him at number two. Reality star Georgia Toffolo is in the top spot with £425million. It comes as Harry has been spotted hanging out in Berlin, where he is rumoured to be working on new music with fellow British songwriter and producer Kid Harpoon. Helpfully, Sony Music's new European HQ is also in the city, so it more than makes sense. However, despite the star's impressive property portfolio, he has no plans to snap up a pad there, according to his people. Watch as Harry Styles goes unnoticed by fans in London He already has homes in North London, California and New York, as well as a fleet of fancy cars, including a Ferrari California Convertible worth £145,000, an Audi R8 Coupe, which costs £97,000, a Jaguar E-Type and a Mercedes-Benz 230SL. Harry is also known to be an art fan and was painted by David Hockney in 2023. Harry said at the time: 'David Hockney has been reinventing the way we look at the world for decades. 'It was a complete privilege to be painted by him.' The singer has been collecting art since his early 20s, with his haul said to include an Andy Warhol-style print of Kate Moss.

They headed to private members' club Silencio Cannes following the Magnum event on Thursday. Charli booked a private area at the club, which was designed by the late filmmaker David Lynch. A source said: 'She certainly knows how to work hard and play hard, staying out until the early hours after landing in the South of France. 'She was enjoying free-flowing champagne and was seen dancing the night away with George and her bestie Gabriette. But her night out didn't stop her from meeting with producers and directors the following day. 'Charli wants to cement herself in the film world and is hoping networking at the festival will help land her next role.' Charli has teamed up with film company A24 to produce and appear in a film called The Moment. She plays a promising singer on the cusp of hitting the big time. Earlier in the night, Charli was mobbed by fans as she arrived at Magnum's annual beach party. The bash was given a Brat makeover, with guests served green-dipped Magnum ice creams in a nod to her 2024 Brits-winning album. During Yung Lean's set, Charli made her way through the crowd with a glass of bubbly to give an impromptu performance of the remixed version of her track 360. Wearing signature sunglasses and black hot pants, Charli told fans at the bash: 'Put your f*****g hands up.' Charli was also seen dancing on stage while George did a DJ set, and could not resist a cheeky snog with him. Looks like Cannes is now in its Brat era.

TAYLOR SON 'IS NEW FOO DRUMMER' THE Foo Fighters are set to hire Taylor Hawkins' son as their new drummer, I can reveal.

He said on Instagram: 'The Foo Fighters called me to let me know they've decided 'to go in a different direction with their drummer'.' Josh had replaced Taylor, who died of a drug overdose in 2022. But a source tells me: 'The band is hoping Oliver is ready to step into his Dad's shoes for the gig later this year. He has rehearsed with the band and has the same energy as Taylor on the drums. 'He has been present at the rehearsals and knows the music inside out. 'The guys have known him since he was born and they would love him to be part of the ever-evolving line-up.' Three years ago, a 16-year-old Oliver took to the drums at his dad's tribute concert at Wembley, stealing the show. I'd love to see this happen . . .

Harry Styles in 'so random' appearance in Vatican crowd for history-making Pope Leo XIV address
Harry Styles in 'so random' appearance in Vatican crowd for history-making Pope Leo XIV address Harry Styles was among the thousands gathered in Vatican City to witness the inaugural public address of Pope Leo XIV following a two-day papal conclave Harry Styles at a previous event (Image: PA ) Harry Styles was spotted among the throng of people in the Vatican City on Thursday, May 9, witnessing Pope Leo XIV's inaugural public address. The 31-year-old singer subtly blended into the crowd at the historic event, donning a grey cap emblazoned with "Techno is my boyfriend", black sunglasses, and a familiar blue coat he's been seen wearing on multiple occasions. Visitors to Vatican City were taken aback to see the Grammy-winning artist attending such a momentous religious event, as the first American pope in history addressed his followers after a two-day papal conclave. Styles' surprise appearance at the papal announcement quickly became a hot topic on social media, with fans expressing their joy at seeing the chart-topping artist partaking in the historic event. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter One user said: "Harry styles is so random, one day he's at the Grammys winning album of the year, then he's running a marathon in Japan... But he could also be in Rome waiting for the announcement of the new Pope, i love being his fan." Another fan humorously commented on Styles' celebrity status, posting: "Can't believe the new pope got a glimpse of Harry styles on his first day of the new job." Article continues below Observant fans also noticed the slogan on the singer's hat, "Techno is my boyfriend". "EDM ALBUM COMING," speculated one commenter. Another chimed in: "Iconic of him. "Why would he do that?" questioned a third, reports the Irish Star.. The artist, whose music career has amassed an impressive fortune estimated at $140 million, has lately been in the spotlight for activities outside of the recording studio. In an impressive display of stamina last month, he ran in the Tokyo Marathon and impressively completed the 26.2-mile race in less than four hours, surpassing 20,000 fellow participants. Despite making various public appearances, Styles is shying away from the trend set by others and won't be joining the array of stars for a Las Vegas residency at The Sphere. A representative for the ex-One Direction star recently clarified to US Weekly: "To set the record straight, there has never been plans for Harry Styles to perform at Sphere." Despite soaring fame, the thrice Grammy-acclaimed artist continues to endear himself to his global fanbase with a grounded approach, often interacting with his followers in unexpected places across the globe.
