Ed Sheeran to become a Billionaire
The chart-topping pop star – who turned 28 in February – has already amassed an eye-watering fortune and has millions rolling into his bank account each week thanks to the success of his Divide tour which has reportedly seen him earn close to £500 million so far. Ed is expected to earn more than £100million over the next three months of his money-spinning tour, meaning he’ll surpass U2’s record of £579.35 million made during their 2009-11 run of shows.
Reflecting on Ed’s incredible success, music industry expert Mark Borkowski told The London Sun newspaper: ‘The man who was busking on the streets is now a man who is going to be a billionaire. Above all, this shows just how potent live music is nowadays’.
‘It’s the one that generates the money. The music business has moved on with labels having to be more savvy and Ed clearly has a team that knows what it’s doing.’
PR guru Marcel Knobil thinks Ed’s popularity can be linked to his humble persona and ‘raw talent’.
He said: ‘Ed is an extremely talented individual who demonstrates it is not always about the packaging but about the perfect product.
Meanwhile, Ed previously credited his success to hard work. He said: ‘Persistence gets you wherever you want to go. My dad always said, ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained.’
