Leona Lewis
It\'s been one helluva of a year for Leona Lewis. The X-Factor winner had the biggest-selling single in 2007 with Bleeding Love and recently shot to the top of the US charts. As if having, a £6m fortune wasn\'t enough, mentor
Simon Cowell has just bought her a £2.5m mansion in LA! Jostling with Leona at the £6m mark are ex-Blue singer Simon Webbe, r
ecently-widowed Corinne Bailey Rae and bubby blonde Natasha Bedingfield.
9. Katherine Jenkins -- £9m

Katherine Jenkins
Twenty-seven-year-old mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins is big in opera - the fastest selling opera singer since the French diva Maria Callas. She\'s been quoted as saying, "My three ambitions have always been to sing at the Millennium Stadium and the Sydney Opera House, and to get to No 1 in the classical charts. I can\'t believe I\'ve done all three." We bet she can\'t believe she\'s worth £9m either!
8. Amy Winehouse, Will Young and Craig David - £10m

8. Amy Winehouse, Will Young and Craig David - £10 million
With a fortune of £10m, you\'d think that Amy would be able to afford to get some help getting her life back on track. Or at least hire someone to stop her running around the streets of London in the wee hours in her bra. Multi Grammy award-winning Amy\'s second album Back To Black was the biggest seller in 2007. True to Amy\'s style, she was recently reported to been offered
£350,000 for a gig in a Rotterdam nightclub powered by urine and sweat. Even with millions in the bank, she\'s more Hilda Ogden than J.Lo. Tied with Amy at the £10m mark are soul singer Craig David and Pop Idol winner Will Young.
7. Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson - £11m

7. Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson - £11m
Welsh diva Charlotte hasn\'t actually released an album since 2005 (the brilliantly named Tissues And Issues), but that doesn\'t stop the new mum grabbing the No 9 spot on the list. The 22-year-old has sold over 10m records worldwide, including a No 1 single in Mexico - go figure. Her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Hanson probably adds a couple of quid to the joint bank account with his advertising deals for Nike Pro and Matalan.
6. Joss Stone - £12m

6. Joss Stone - £12m
Devon born-and-bred Joss is another fabulously rich singer who started her career in her teens - aged 15 to be precise. The R&B singing sensation released her first album The Soul Sessions in 2003. At 21, with three albums under her belt, she boasts 10m record sales, two BRIT awards and a Grammy. Oh, and a fortune of £12m.
5. Katie Melua - £18m

5. Katie Melua - £18m
She\'s the queen of easy listening and it sure is bringing home the bacon for Ms Melua. Georgian-born Katie released her debut album Call Off The Search at the tender age of 19 - it sold over 1.8m copies in just five months. With three albums under her belt now, she\'s 23 years old and worth £18m - not bad for someone who sings about Chinese bicycles.
4. Karen Elson and Jack White - £25m

4. Karen Elson and Jack White - £25m
Model Karen Elson met her American musician husband Jack White on the set of the White Stripes Blue Orchid video in 2005 and the pair married not long after in Brazil. Manchester-born Karen qualifies the couple for the UK\'s rich list and their combined fortune is estimated at a cool £25m.

3. Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion - £30m
Coldplay\'s Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion tie at No 3 on the list with £10m each. The three met when they were teenagers at University College London and formed the band with frontman Chris Martin. Following the release of their third single Yellow in the summer of 2000 they quickly became stadium fillers. Chris Martin, hubby to Gwyneth Paltrow, isn\'t included on the list because he turned 31 this year, but we\'re sure he\'s not doing to badly for himself!
2. Vanessa-Mae Nicholson - £32m

2. Vanessa-Mae Nicholson - £32m
Vanessa Mae started playing the violin aged five and all that hard work has certainly paid off! A child prodigy,Vanessa first wowed audiences with her classical performances.

1. Dhani Harrison - £160m
Although Dhani tops the list of the richest musicians under 30, his wealth is inherited from one of the most famous guitarists in the world. Twenty-nine-year-old Dhani is the only son of ex-Beatle George Harrison, who died of cancer at the end of 2001. After dabbling in a career in aerodynamics, Dhani is following in his father\'s footsteps - his first work as a professional musician was to complete the late George\'s final album, Brainwashed. His band, thenewno2, are working on their second album, and not only does Dhani bear a striking resemblance to his dad, he sounds like him too.
