Pop superstar Dua Lipa tops the Heat Rich List as Bridget Jones hunk Leo Woodall and actress Anya Taylor-Joy climb the ranks – and the Love Islander of the moment muscles into the top 30

by

Dua Lipa was named the wealthiest celebrity under 30 in the UK and Ireland on Tuesday, topping the Heat Rich List 2025. The list revealed the 30 richest young stars in the region.

The 30-year-old singer has enjoyed a remarkably successful year, earning a fortune estimated at £129 million. She’s currently touring with her Radical Optimism show and recently became engaged to actor Callum Turner.

Dua Lipa shared last year that she believes in the power of manifesting, and it seems to be paying off – she’s become incredibly successful and wealthy.

The last year has been her biggest money-spinner yet, thanks to her £83m-grossing tour. 

I’m a huge fan, and it’s amazing to see everything she’s doing! Not only is she building a fantastic podcast and book club community, but she’s also pursuing her acting dreams and collaborating with incredible brands like Porsche and Versace. She’s seriously unstoppable!

The top 30 list saw nine new faces this year, including singer Holly Humberstone, actress Anya Taylor-Joy, and actor Leo Woodall. In other news, Steven Bartlett was named the UK’s highest-earning podcaster.

Amber Davies, currently competing on Strictly Come Dancing and previously known from Love Island, has a net worth of £1.7 million, placing her at number 30 on the list.

I’m a huge Tom Holland fan, and it’s amazing to see him doing so well! He’s landed in second place with around £37 million in earnings, making roughly £7.5 million per Spider-Man film. Plus, he’s now venturing into the drinks industry with his new alcohol-free beer, Bero – how cool is that?

He’s also apparently top of Amazon’s James Bond wish-list too. 

Lewis Capaldi has earned £35 million thanks to the success of his two popular albums, his concert tours, and a celebrated return performance at Glastonbury.

Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi comes in second with £24 million, followed closely by Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury at £22.1 million.

Sophie Turner, the actress, comes in at number six with £21.9 million. Following her is soul singer Jorja Smith and rapper Dave, tied at eighth with £16.8 million each. Dave has achieved three number-one singles, including “Sprinter,” which is nearing one billion streams on Spotify.

Rapper Aitch, from Manchester, is ninth with earnings of £14.4 million, and actor Asa Butterfield completes the top ten with £13.7 million.

Nine new artists made the list this year, and topping them is singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone, landing at number 20 with £4.1 million in earnings. She boosted her income with successful opening gigs for Olivia Rodrigo and by performing for crowds of 90,000 fans each night on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

At 29, Leo Woodall is a new addition to the list, ranking 26th with earnings of £2.2 million. His recent success comes from roles in The White Lotus, One Day, and as a younger love interest in Mad About the Boy.

Meanwhile, as podcasting booms, many voices are proving there’s big money in the mic. 

Steven Bartlett is the wealthiest podcast host, with a net worth of £36 million. His podcast, Diary of a CEO, generates £15 million each year through advertising, and Bartlett himself earns almost £1 million annually from it.

Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch have a combined net worth of £30 million. Peter Crouch’s podcast, ‘That Peter Crouch Podcast,’ is the sixth most popular in the UK, and he also co-hosts ‘The Therapy Crouch’ with his wife, Abbey.

The lineup also features Chris and Rosie Ramsey, a clever couple from South Shields who’ve built a successful brand from their popular podcast, Shged Married Annoyed, which details their married life. Joining them are James Acaster and Ed Gamble, the comedic duo behind Off Menu, a podcast downloaded 120 million times since 2018, and Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook, hosts of The Rest is History, the world’s most popular history podcast.

Recently, Love Island’s Amber made news when her Strictly Come Dancing partner, Nikita Kuzmin, was seen kissing her on the forehead.

The actress, who is dating West End performer Ben Joyce, was photographed in a friendly hug with 27-year-old Ukrainian dancer Nikita on Friday. The photo was taken during a break from dance practice at a studio in north London.

Wearing warm clothes, the two friends stopped for coffee. Before Saturday night’s Icon Week event, Nikita sweetly kissed Amber on the head.

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE how quickly Amber and Nikita connected! It’s amazing because Amber told the Daily Mail that she literally had just HOURS to learn the routine with Nikita after stepping in for Dani Dyer when Dani hurt her ankle. They bonded so fast, it’s like they were always meant to dance together! I’m seriously obsessed with their story.

Amber survived elimination on Sunday’s show when the judges unanimously decided to keep her in the competition instead of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who became the most recent celebrity to be voted off.

Friends of Amber have dismissed claims she’s been negatively affected by the show, responding to recent personal photos with assurances that she is doing well.

Someone close to Amber revealed to the Daily Mail that she wasn’t worried about potentially being in the dance-off, despite what people expected.

She wasn’t at all shocked to find herself in that position. As it’s an entertainment show, anything can happen on Strictly. In fact, she’d predicted on Saturday that she might be in the dance-off.

She’s starting the week with a good attitude and isn’t worried at all. She’s continuing to have a great time on Strictly.

Winning isn’t the main goal for Amber. She’s focused on working hard, staying grounded, and is incredibly thankful for the support from people in the theatre world.

They stated that the idea of a relationship between Amber and Nikita is absurd.

‘The pictures didn’t affect them at all because they know the truth. Amber was unfazed by it.’ 

Nikita, who is dating model Lauren Jaine, was seen kissing Amber on the head, sparking rumors of a strong connection between them.

The photos were taken last Friday after the pair practiced the Cha Cha Cha for over eight hours at a dance studio in north London.
