Ed Sheeran holds a number of records as one of the top-selling singers of our time: But what is his net worth? Here's what we know about Ed Sheeran's wealth and salary.
How much has Ed Sheeran made from music?
In March 2017, Ed released his mega-hit album Divide, which was a massive commercial success...and that's putting it lightly. It wound up being the third fastest-selling album in UL chart history, behind Adele and Oasis, per Celebrity Net Worth.
One song you may or may not have heard of called 'Shape of You' was *particularly* big. Like, named the number one charting song of the decade and the first-ever song to rack up more than 3 billion streams on Spotify big. Like, number 10 on the Billboard 100 Greatest Songs of All Time big. To celebrate the 3 billion stream feat in 2021, the singer took to Instagram, and said in a video to fans: "[‘Shape Of You’] wasn’t really meant to make the album but when I finished making the song, Ben Cook, from my label, said it had to be a single — but I wanted ‘Castle on the Hill’ to be the single. We put both songs out at once and… I was wrong. Here we are with ‘Shape of You’ at 3 billion." Everyone say thank you to this Ben guy!
Ed has also collaborated with tons of fellow singers, which adds to his £££. Case in point? He collaborated with *the* Beyoncé in 2017 on the song 'Perfect Duet,' which quickly jumped to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's success was no surprise since the OG track 'Perfect' is number 62 on the Billboard 100 Greatest Songs of All Time. His 2019 single with Justin Bieber 'I Don't Care' debuted with nearly 11 million daily global streams on Spotify *and* is the largest first-day sum for any piece of music on the platform, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Also that year, the artist released his No. 6 Collaborations Project, which featured hits with everyone from Cardi B and Camila Cabello to Khalid and debuted at number 1 in the UK, the US, and Australia.
Oh, and if that's not already mind-blowing enough, in December 2019, Ed was named artist of the decade by the Official Charts Company and Spotify named him the second-most-streamed artist of the decade, behind Drake as number 1. With over 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify and most of his songs on the platform having over one billion plays, Ed has made an estimated average of £7.3 million dollars per song on Spotify. BRB, adding to Ed's net worth rn by playing 'I Don't Care' on repeat even though I really, really do care about the wealth disparity between us 😭.
How much has Ed Sheeran made from touring?
Ed just so happens to v ~casually~ hold the record for the highest-grossing concert tour aka his Divide tour, which grossed £638 million between March 2017 and August 2019, per Forbes.
“I’m in the music industry to play live,” he said at Amazon’s London office in 2014, per The Guardian. “That’s why I make records, that’s why I do radio interviews, that’s why I do Amazon events, that’s why I put things on Spotify. Having recorded music is fantastic, but playing live is where I buzz the most.”
Obviously, beyond it being something that makes him happy, it also definitely makes him rich. In 2018 alone, the Divide tour made £354 million and sold a total of 4,860,482 tickets, according to Pollstar. No thoughts, just 🤯🤯🤯 and 😭😭😭.
How much did Ed Sheeran make from The Voice?
In 2021, Ed became a mentor on The Voice during the knockout rounds, which is a massive feat in and of itself. Sadly for me (bc I'm egregiously nosey), the total amount the singer earned on the reality TV competition isn't publicly known, but he definitely received some $£££ for his time.
How much does Ed Sheeran make from acting?
In 2014, Ed first dipped his toes into acting with a cameo role on the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street. Since then, he's been seen in massive shows from Game of Thrones to The Simpsons and has even been in movies like Bridget Jones’s Baby and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.
More recently, he starred in the romantic comedy Yesterday, a movie about a man who mysteriously wakes up in a world where The Beatles never existed...so he steals their songs.
“If you look at that movie, the premise is a bloke who gets really, really, really famous 'round the world, and it's a bit unbelievable that he got really, really famous 'round the world…[he] comes from Suffolk…so there are all these factors in it where I was like, 'Has [Richard] sort of written this about me?'” Ed said on BBC Radio 1 in 2021, per People, of the film's writer Richard Curtis, who lives in the singer's native Suffolk and knows both him and his wife Cherry Seaborn.
How much has Ed Sheeran made as a songwriter?
Some of Ed's most notable songs? 'Everything Has Changed' from Taylor Swift's Red, One Direction’s 'Moments' from their debut album, *plus* 'Little Things,' 'Cold Water' by Major Lazer, 'Love Yourself' by Justin Bieber, and the Weeknd's 'Dark Times.' The talent!
So what is Ed Sheeran's net worth?
That would be a cool *pauses for dramatic effect* $200 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. 🤯 An-y-way, gotta go think of creative sponsorship deals and get rich quick inspo ideas.
