Adele’s career has reached extraordinary heights, with her residencies in Las Vegas and Munich serving as key milestones in her success. Between 2023 and 2024, the British singer delivered unforgettable performances, broke records, and significantly increased her wealth.
The “Weekends with Adele” Residency in Las Vegas
Adele’s residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which ran from 2023 to 2024, was one of the most lucrative in history. With each show grossing approximately $1.75 million, the residency quickly became one of the most profitable ever.
After completing two years of sold-out performances, Adele’s fortune rose to £170 million ($213.4 million) in 2024, marking a significant increase from the previous year’s £165 million ($207.1 million), according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
Beyond the ticket sales, Adele also continues to generate substantial income from record sales, royalties, and publishing deals.
These ongoing revenue streams ensure that even years after her latest album release, she remains financially thriving.
Financial Gains from Adele’s Companies
In addition to her performances, Adele’s business ventures have contributed significantly to her wealth.

Breaking Records in Munich
Adele’s success wasn’t confined to Las Vegas. Her residency in Munich, held at the Allianz Arena, attracted over 730,000 attendees, setting a new world record for the largest audience for a residency outside of Las Vegas.
This achievement was officially recognized by the Guinness World Records.
Additionally, her residency featured groundbreaking technical aspects, including the world’s largest continuous LED screen, further cementing her residency’s place in entertainment history.
This innovative production will also be featured in an upcoming documentary, providing fans with a behind-the-scenes look at the effort that went into making the Munich residency such a visual and musical success.
Emotional Farewell and Break from Performing
As 2024 came to a close, Adele announced her intention to take a break from performing. During her final concert in Munich, she shared an emotional message with fans, explaining that she would be stepping away from the stage for an extended period.
Despite her immense love for performing, Adele emphasized the importance of taking time to savor the personal life she’s been building, promising her fans that they would always hold a special place in her heart.
She shared,
“I’m not the most comfortable performer, I know that, but I am very f—ing good at it… And I’ve really enjoyed performing for nearly three now, which is the longest I’ve ever done and probably the longest I will ever do.”
The break means that it may be years before she returns to the stage, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her comeback.
A Continuing Legacy of Success
Adele’s residencies in Las Vegas and Munich are just two examples of how she has solidified her place as one of the world’s most successful and influential artists.
Whether through live performances, music sales, or business ventures, Adele has proven that her star power continues to shine bright.
With a net worth of £170 million ($213.4 million) and a legacy of record-breaking performances, she remains a true powerhouse in the music industry.
