Dua Lipa rakes in eye-watering £23m in ONE year
SUPERSTAR singer Dua Lipa has raked in £23million in just ONE year.
The 30-year-old is also set to have another NINE figure payday on the way – adding to her estimated £130million fortune.
That’s before she’s paid from her £112m grossing Radical Optimism world tour.
The Levitating star turned over the monster sum from her music-making and deals with firms like Versace and Porsche and helped herself to £14.1m.
The income was paid into her Radical 22 Ltd firm and annual accounts for 224 reveal a big jump in cash.
The firm is worth £55.8m and has £21m invested and holds readies of £22m.
A report revealed: “The directors believe that the gross core income from royalties, sponsorship and endorsement income will continue to be generated in the immediate future at a satisfactory level.
“The directors use many key performance indicators to monitor the performance of the company. They regard the following as the key financial indicators of performance, all of which can be observed in the attached financial statements.
“The directors’ expect the performance of the company to be comparable in the following year as a result of similar activity within artist sponsorships and royalty distributions.”
Dua Lipa maintains lucrative multi-million dollar deals as a global ambassador for YSL Beauty, along with partnerships with Porsche, Versace, and Puma.
Her media platform Service95, which includes a newsletter, podcast, and book club, has become a core part of her business empire.
Dua, who lives in London, said that her parents’ struggle as immigrants to the UK from Kosovo influence her work ethic.
She said previously: “What’s maybe the immigrant mentality…this thing I have in my head where I know that, if I don’t work hard enough, the rug could just be pulled from under my feet.”
Part of that work ethic is keeping immaculate records and schedules to maintain her sanity.
Dua added: “I don’t even want to show you my phone [calendar], because I’m embarrassed about it, but it’s really down to the minute: where I’m going, what I’m doing: ‘Wake up, glam, prep for podcast.
“I have to watch Succession, so I’ve got to schedule that.”
Her fiance, Brit actor Callum, 35, who starred in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, is thought to be worth around £3million.
The couple, who got engaged last Christmas, ranked in the under 40 rich list, which included Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott.
They’re on the lookout for a place in the sun – after spending the summer months soaking up the rays in Ibiza.
They called on a property expert to tap up a series of very posh holiday homes in Andalusia in southern Spain, with a source telling The Sun: “Dua and Callum are looking for a sunny bolthole to enjoy with their families.
“Their preference has been pretty clear: nice weather and properties that have space.
“They have a man scouting for homes in Portugal and Andalusia, which have amazing weather all-year round.
“The house has to be able to comfortably fit Dua and Callum, as well as their family and friends.
“They also want peace and tranquility, that has been made very clear.
“Dua and Callum have a healthy budget too. They’ve been sent details on properties priced between £3million and £9million and are weighing them up.
“They’ve been shown massive mansions overlooking the sea, as well as a huge retreat in the hills of Marbella.
“Dua and Callum have been spending time looking through all the properties and are expected to put an offer in soon.
They’re really excited about getting a secret bolthole in the sun.”
