ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - He may be a relatively unassuming ginger singer-songwriter, but he’s also the highest earning solo artist in the world, according to Forbes’ list of the Highest Paid Celebrities of 2018.
Ed Sheeran, who will be performing in South Africa for the first time in 2019, takes his place alongside other celebrities such as Floyd Mayweather, ranked the richest in the world, George Clooney in second place and Kylie Jenner, the highest earning female celeb in the world at third place.
The fourth place may be a bit more surprising than the others … it’s Judy Sheindlin, a name that produced zero recognition in The Citizen newsroom until a Google search confirmed that she is better known as Judge Judy.
She is followed by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, with U2 in 6th place and Coldplay in 7th the only musical acts ranking higher than Sheeran.
