If anyone were to share his £60m net worth title with Little Mix, it would be Dua Lipa.
Doaa has increased her net worth by £24 million in the last year according to The Times. The high hit was the fifth most streamed song in the world last year and is also known to have made a lot of money.
With a world tour and millions of album sales, it makes perfect sense that Dua would rank number two on this list.

The Harry Styles award for the richest celebrity under 30 in the UK has a net worth of £100m, an increase of £25m from last year.

Harry’s acting roles in Don’t Worry Baby and Cop will increase his fortune. Earlier this year he bought his third property in north London, a house in Highgate for £4m. It is said that he wants to turn them all into one gigantic palace.
