Adele earns over £40,000 a day

Soul superstar Adele earns £41,000 a day thanks to her chart success, according to newly published accounts.

The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker, whose two albums 19 and 21 have topped charts around the world, has £10.3 million in the bank and £4.6 million due in royalties, reports The Sun.

Adele's company Melted Stone Ltd's accounts cover the year to April 2012 and were substantially increased on the previous year - when she had assets of just £341,000.

The publication reports that the 24-year-old's bank balance is set to be boosted further by her hit theme for James Bond movie Skyfall, for which she bagged a Golden Globe award last month.
