It’s been over a year since Lewis Capaldi took several steps back from public life after struggling with his health and Tourette’s diagnosis.

Lewis, 28, cancelled numerous public commitments last year after ‘struggling’ to cope both ‘mentally and physically’ with the onslaught of fame.

He opened up to the crowd in an emotional Glastonbury performance before revealing plans to go on an indefinite hiatus while he recovered.

In late 2023, Lewis released an album and a documentary – How I’m Feeling Now – exploring his diagnosis and relationship to music in the face of his crumbling mental health.

He released an extended version of his album on January 1 but has steered clear of the spotlight ever since, with his last public appearance being at Dua Lipa’s Glastonbury 2024 set.

Despite this break, the Someone You Loved hitmaker has still landed incredibly high on this year’s list of the wealthiest stars aged 30 and under with a net worth of £30.4million.

Lewis is higher up the rich list than the likes of Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner and new Glastonbury headliner frontrunner Sam Fender.

His net worth is so impressive he’s almost as wealthy as Marvel star and Bero founder Tom Holland, who has a net worth of £30.6million.

This is nothing compared to the eye-watering net worths of two huge UK singers at the top of the rich list, according to Heat Magazine.

In second place is Dua Lipa, with an impressive net worth of £104million after headlining Glastonbury, releasing a new album, and announcing her world tour.

Fans often joke that Dua, 29, spends her time performing or on holiday so it’s hardly a surprise the Training Season singer is making bank.

However, the wealthiest British celebrity in this age bracket was always going to be Harry Styles, outpacing his peers at £200million estimated net worth.

The former One Directioner is now a global megastar with his sold-out Love on Tour show after releasing album Harry’s House two years ago.

Harry, 30, has also starred in multiple films including Don’t Worry Darling and My Policeman which has likely boosted his wealth.

Also appearing on the rich list are Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown, rapper Dave, singer Jorja Smith, and Sex Education star Asa Butterfield.

International celebrities included Billie Eilish (£67million), Bad Bunny (£80million), Justin Bieber (£580million) and the members of Blackpink who have a collective net worth of £47million.

Kylie Jenner tops the list of global celebs with a whopping £770million to her name thanks to her family’s reality TV empire and her various brands.

While Taylor Swift might not qualify for the list at 34 years old, her cat Olivia Benson was crowned the richest pet with an estimated net worth equal to that of Billie Eilish.

Even more baffling, the Stevenage train station cat, Nala Cat, is the second most wealthy pet with a reported net worth of £61million.
