Adele is an incredibly successful and renowned British singer-songwriter. Adele earned around $430 million between 2009 and 2019, mostly from record sales and live performances. Adele’s net worth as of this writing is $220 million.

Early Life

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham, London. She is better known by the mononym Adele as her stage name. Her father left when she was two years old, so her mother, Penny Adkins, raised her. They moved to Brighton on the south coast of England when she was nine, before returning to London in 1999.

She graduated from the BRIT School of Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon in 2006, where her contemporaries included Leona Lewis and Jessie J. While in school, she was primarily focused on entering the A&R sector of the music industry, as opposed to pursuing her own singing career.

However, she had produced a three-song demo as part of a class assignment, and a buddy uploaded the demo on Myspace, where it quickly gained popularity. Richard Russell from XL Recordings contacted her as a result of her online exposure, and she signed with them in September 2006.

Personal Life

Adele wed Simon Konecki in 2016, after five years of dating. Together, they have one son, who was born in 2012. After seven years of marriage, they announced their split in April 2019. In April 2020, it was revealed that Adele and Simon do not have a prenuptial agreement and that she may be liable for an exceptionally hefty payout.

During their marriage, the couple’s primary home for legal purposes was the state of California in the United States. In California, a former spouse is entitled to fifty percent of all marital income and assets. We estimate that Adele made approximately $200 million before taxes during their marriage.

During their marriage, they also amassed a rather large portfolio of real estate. Simon will be legally entitled to half of the portfolio’s value or another agreement. The newlyweds purchased a property in Beverly Hills for $9.5 million in June 2016. Adele purchased a new Beverly Hills house for $10.65 million in May 2019, a month after announcing their separation.

A Los Angeles court accepted Adele’s plea to keep her divorce facts confidential on April 6, 2020.

Music Career

“Hometown Glory,” Adele’s first breakout single, was released in October 2007. She released her debut studio album, “19,” in 2008 to widespread critical and commercial acclaim. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in early 2009, and 2,2 million copies had been sold globally by July 2009. In February 2009, she also won the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards.

In over thirty countries, Adele’s second studio album “21” debuted at number one shortly after its release in early 2011. Both “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep” topped the charts in numerous countries after being released from the album. “21” was so popular that by December 2011, it had sold over 3.4 million copies in the United Kingdom alone and was the best-selling album of the 21st century, surpassing Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” Adele swept the music prizes that season, claiming Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year, among others, at the 2011 American Music Awards and the 2012 Grammy Awards.

Adele released her third studio album, “25,” in November 2015, following a brief break from performance during which she continued to work on musical content. It was the best-selling book in the world in 2015, selling 17.4 million copies. In 2016, she went on tour for the first time since 2011.

Over 10 million individuals sought to acquire tickets for the North American leg of the tour, but only 750,000 were available. The titles of her first three studio albums were all based on her age at the time they were recorded, although she has remarked that she will likely not do so in the future.

In addition to her studio albums, Adele has also composed the theme song for “Skyfall,” the twenty-third James Bond film.

The song, which is also known as “Skyfall,” has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide and earned Adele the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Adele has sold more than one hundred million records globally.

Adele Reveals How Her Name Should Be Pronounced

Adele claimed during a recent Q&A session in Los Angeles that people had been pronouncing her name incorrectly for years after listening to a taped question from a London-based fan.

Where did she originate, Enfield or something? Adele inquired, alluding to the North London municipality. “She pronounced my name flawlessly!”

As it turns out, the correct pronunciation of the vocalist of “Someone Like You” is uh-dale, not ah-dell.

In addition to the release of her studio album “30,” Adele is prepping for the Nov. 18 debut of her Las Vegas residency. Tickets are sold out, with resale sites listing prices in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Adele had to postpone her residency, “Weekends with Adele,” earlier this year because of COVID-related complications. She communicated the news to her followers via social media in a sad post.

In a summer interview, the 34-year-old stated that being forced to cancel the performances was the “worst moment” of her career.
