According to the magazine’s editor, Suzy Cox, Adele reached the top spot due to the massive success of her new album and the supporting concert tour. Heat magazine also created a top five list of international celebrities under 30, which placed American singer Taylor Swift at the top spot with her £192 million (AU$306.4 million) estimated wealth.

Another list featuring “billion dollar babies who were born with a platinum spoon in their mouths” was also made. It highlighted Princess Charlotte who has a reported £3.2 billion (AU$5.1 billion) value to the UK economy. The royal baby helps skyrocket the sales of baby brands more than any other celebrity tot. Selena Gomez topped this year's “Insta-preneurs” list which included celebrities that made the most money out of their Instagram posts.
