Ed Sheeran

English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is given credit as one of the world’s most successful singer-songwriters. Whenever he goes on world tours, Sheeran can easily make $70 to $100 million in a given year. For instance, he amassed $65 million between 2019 and 2020 from his many endeavors.

Sheeran started singing as a child in a local choir and then moved on to learning the guitar. He then wrote his own songs while in high school and was accepted to the National Youth Theatre. He began recording music in 2004 after releasing Spinning Man independently. Over the next three years, Sheeran started to gain a small following while performing at venues around London. Thanks to Jamie Foxx, who offered him a place to stay while in the US, he was able to release two more EPs and gradually reached success with his songs The A-Team and I See Fire.
