Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
ED Sheeran has topped heat magazine's 30 under 30 rich list, with a staggering £210 million fortune in the bank. Harry Styles and Emma Watson round out the top three, while KSI is the highest new entry with £12 million.
The list "delves into the bank accounts of Britain’s youngest, richest stars to find out exactly where they make their money." In the last 12 months, despite stepping back from touring and becoming a father, Ed has increased his fortune by £40 million thanks in part to the nine million tickets sold for his record-breaking Divide tour.
Harry added to his One Direction fortune thanks to a critically acclaimed second album Fine Line, a world tour and a lucrative Gucci promo deal.
