Adele has made it into the top 10 of the world's highest-paid celebrities under the age of 30.

The 24-year-old singer, who is pregnant with her first child, earned $35 million (£23 million) between May 2011 and May 2012 according to US business magazine Forbes.

It put her at number six in its top 10 which was dominated by women singers, with Taylor Swift topping the charts.

She's thought to have made $57 million (£37 million).
