Find Out Adele's Net Worth in 2023 and Exactly How She Earned It From '19' Through '30'

Adele's net worth is like her: In a league of its own.

The mononymous singing superstar has enough trophy gold to make the U.S. Treasury shrivel in shame, and her blockbuster chart success is only bolstered by her mysteriousness relative to other stars of her caliber: We knew she wrote albums like 21 and 25 about past relationships, but we had no idea who the exes she wrote about were. Until somewhat recently, she barely used social media at all (you'll likely never see her doing #sponcon ever).

The chanteuse is also rarely photographed unless it's at an event, and that sense of elusiveness only adds to the allure of Adele and her music. But despite her evasiveness from the tabloids, Adele is also refreshingly honest and candid when she does speak publicly, as well as uproariously funny. She takes her music seriously, but not herself, making her seem incredibly grounded despite her status as one of the highest-selling artists on the planet.

Just how much money has she made through her songs and performances? Keep reading to find out Adele's net worth in 2023, and exactly how she earned it.

How did Adele become famous?

Adele, born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, rose to fame in 2007 with her breakthrough hit "Hometown Glory." She was 19 when it was released—and just 16 when she wrote it.

In January 2008, Adele released her second single, "Chasing Pavements," and her debut album 19. That October, she was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live when Sarah Palin appeared on the show, and it was the highest-rated episode ever at the time, clocking in a whopping 17 million viewers.

"It was supposed to be like, a normal show, just me and Josh Brolin—I was the musical guest and he was hosting it. And then we walk in on Saturday and Sarah Palin was there," Adele once recalled. "We were like, 'Oh God!' And it ended up being a huge show, and literally overnight—like, whenever I've heard that saying, 'overnight success,' I was like, 'Yeah whatever, they probably worked for it.' And it was overnight, completely overnight! I was chuffed at that."

How old is Adele?

When did Adele get divorced?

Adele and ex-husband Simon Konecki split in 2019, shocking the world—and, to a degree, even the couple themselves, because Adele was intent on sticking it out.

"I've been obsessed with a nuclear family because I never came from one," she revealed in a sitdown with Oprah Winfrey in November 2021. "I take marriage very seriously. It seems like—I don't know, almost like I disrespected it by getting married and divorced so quickly. I'm just embarrassed that I didn't make my marriage work… I'm still not fully over it; me choosing to dismantle my child's life for my own makes me very uncomfortable."

Thankfully, the divorce won't cost her much: According to The Associated Press, Konecki will get neither child support nor spousal support from the singer, and the exes will share custody of their son, Angelo. The family has also managed to maintain a lifestyle rather close to nuclear, as exes Adele and Konecki live across the street from one another in L.A. while co-parenting their son.
