The Rolling In The Deep singer, brought up by her mum in a flat above a shop, now rakes in £41,000 a DAY [$65 000]
And the flush star is having no problem splashing out £47,000 [$74 000] a month to rent Sir Paul McCartney’s old home in Los Angeles while she rehearses for the Oscars.
Accounts for Adele’s company Melted Stone Ltd show there is £10.3million [$16 200 000] in the bank and £4.6million due in royalties and other payments — a £14.9million total [$23 500 000]
The figures reflect the runaway success of her album 21 and breakthrough in the huge US market.
The record, Adele’s second, has sold 25 million copies worldwide, more than three times her debut 19’s seven million. And the 24-year-old’s windfall is set to be boosted further by her hit theme for latest James Bond movie Skyfall.
The accounts for Adele’s company, just filed at Companies House, cover the year to April 2012. They compare with assets of £341,000 a year before, showing just how big she now is Stateside.
Adele, born in Tottenham, North London, was brought up alone by her mum Penny in a tiny flat above a bargain shop in South London.
She now owns a ten-bedroom mansion in Surrey, but recently relocated to Los Angeles to prepare for her performance at the Oscars. She will sing Skyfall as part of the James Bond 50th anniversary celebrations. The song, which has already won a Golden Globe, is also up for Best Original Song at the gongs on February 24.
Adele, who had her first child Angelo in October, is staying at Macca’s former nine-bed mansion.
She spends her evenings with pal Robbie Williams, who lives ten minutes away with wife Ayda, after rehearsing during the day with an orchestra in downtown LA.
A source said: “Adele is really nervous about her Oscars performance, so decided against staying in a hotel where there would be lots of people around. The property’s up in the hills so guarantees her privacy.
“And what better place to get musical inspiration than an ex-Beatle’s home.”

Does all her money from selling music, touring goes here? I mean if all there is to it, that's low

What touring? She hasn't done anything but pop up at random award shows every 19th month and collect awards. She hasn't toured since September of 2011. Lol! And does she even have endorsements? I'm sure 96% of that is from music.
Judging by her bank account, unless she has more money some where else. It sounds to me like she's def going to have to release an album either this year or 2014.

Those are her payments, of course that's a lot. I wonder where's the rest of the money that's keeping her grounded. Well she did rack in 67M with 21 alone, so maybe i'm wrong. She should have her own perfume and do endorsements imo.
