Highlights

It’s been reported for over a month that Adele and Paul Rich married in a secret ceremony. Now, details about the couple’s prenup are being revealed, and it appears the singer went to great lengths to protect her $220 million fortune.

Speaking to National Enquirer, a source said that Adele’s friends “convinced” her to sign a prenuptial agreement, even though it was an uncomfortable conversation to have with Paul.

“Adele has a few trust issues, which is normal for her, but bringing up a marital contract caused some friction between them,” the insider said.

With her $220 million fortune, Adele is one of the world's most successful female singers.

Adele was previously married to Simon Konecki from 2018 to 2021, but apparently decided to forgo a prenup. But with the songstress walking down the aisle for a second time, she decided to do things differently, even if it was tough.

“She believes in love, and she says talking about anything to do with money is a sure-fire romance killer. She was right,” the source went on.

Adele is reportedly worth $220 million at the moment, which includes $31 million from album sales alone as well as $34 million in digital sales. But the singer’s net worth is expected to grow largely thanks to her ongoing Las Vegas residency.

She reportedly makes $2 million in revenue per show, and if she takes home half of the paycheck, that’ll give her $13 million for the residency – much more than any other artist in history.

Adele wasn’t the only one who had a fortune to protect with the prenup. Paul Rich, a talent manager, is reportedly worth $120 million and his fortune has only increased thanks to the fame that’s come with dating the British musician.

Though it was a “touchy subject” for a while, the source says Adele is glad the prenup is done with. Now, the newlyweds can rest easy. “[The prenup’s signed, and Adele and Rich put it behind them... hopefully,” the insider concluded.

There were reports that Adele’s insistence on a prenup was a sore spot for Paul, but it appears the couple have overcome it. Now, they’re enjoying newlywed bliss in the $58 million mansion Adele bought last year from Sylvester Stallone, even going in on various renovations to make the California estate more homely while Adele spends most of her time in Nevada with the residency.
