DUA A LIPA is one of the biggest pop stars in the game – and now she’s one of the biggest earners, too.
The Levitating singer has seen her wealth more than double in the past three years to take her fortune to £60million.

Dua, who had £25million in April 2020, has just filed new accounts to Companies House which show her touring company, Dua Lipa Live LLP, now has assets worth £38.6million, up £8million on the previous year.
A separate firm, Dua Lipa Ltd, has so far raked in £21.7million.
The earnings in her touring company come from the first two months of her North American Future Nostalgia tour, which took place in February and March last year.
But in reality Dua will have earned an even bigger figure, as the total doesn’t reflect the cash she raked in from the subsequent legs of the tour in the UK, Europe, South America, New Zealand and Australia.
In total, she played 82 shows, which will result in her accounts bulging even more next year.
A source said: “Dua is at the top of her game and is absolutely raking it in.
“She is sensible with her money and is doing everything in her power to look after her earnings.”
I told last month how she has been hard at work on her third album and is hoping to strike while the iron’s hot by releasing new music later this year.
Whatever way her career goes from here on out , she ought to be set for life.
DAVID’S A GO-GUETTA WITH ANNE-MARIE SUMMER HIT

The duo have worked on Baby Don’t Hurt Me, which samples Haddaway’s What Is Love from 30 years ago.
The new tune also features US rapper Coi Leray, who has gained prominence recently with her song Players, which reached No7 in the charts.
Baby Don’t Hurt Me is expected to drop on Friday after David started playing it in his DJ sets.
A music insider said: “Now is the time for artists to drop their tunes they want to be big this summer.
“And David Guetta has high hopes for this one.
“It is packed with nostalgia because of the sample but he adds an amazing twist.
“Last year he went to No1 with I’m Good (Blue) which sampled Eiffel 65’s Blue (Da Ba Dee), so he is hoping he has the same success with Baby Don’t Hurt Me.”
The original version is a timeless hit which still gets people on the dance floor.
So if he is capable of improving on that, he will be on to a winner.
TEYANA GETS IT DIONNE
KANYE WEST’s protege Teyana Taylor is to play soul songstress Dionne Warwick in an upcoming film of her life.
The singer, who has worked with Ye for years, has started shooting the biopic about the Walk On By singer who she has a striking resemblance to.

Teyana said: “We’re already working on it.
“I always wanted to make sure I could lock in with any person that I would be playing.
“We talk almost every day.
“I’ve always been a firm believer and stood on safety.
NIALL’S SKILL IS IN CREASING
NIALL HORAN is old before his time.
The former One Direction singer is still five months off turning the big 3-0 but has said he won’t travel anywhere without a hand-held steam iron and scented candles.
Niall said: “I’m like such an old man.
“There’s candles in my bag and I carry a hand-held steamer so I can steam my clothes.
“I don’t like anything creased, I’m a bit OCD like that.
“When you live out of a suitcase like I do they are always going to be creased if you don’t do anything with them, so I carry a hand-held steamer.”
If that wasn’t enough, Niall said he also carries his own hairdryer and said he’d be packing it when he heads off on tour to promote his new album, The Show, out on June 9.
Given he’s a multi-millionaire pop star, I doubt he’ll be staying in a Travelodge with a dodgy blower.
But each to his own, I suppose.
“She’s had a wonderful career and I think right now is about making her feel as safe as possible to tell her story because a lot of these stories get misconstrued or dramatised to an extent.
“That’s not really where we want to go.”

In her acceptance speech, Shania said: “I believe in an all-inclusive country music.
“This is a genre of music with a rich history that raised and nurtured my own songwriting and performance and recording career from childhood.
“Currently, the industry standard does a real disservice to this.
“I will continue to do my best as a trailblazer.
“Together, let’s ensure all our fellow artists get equal play regardless of gender, age, or race.”
Also at the bash were US actress Madison Bailey, who wore a yellow dress, and Gwen Stefani, who performed her 1995 No Doubt song Just A Girl with country singer Carly Pearce.

He said: “It’s one of the greatest honours in my life.
“Theatre is so important and will continue to be. It’s just something that I will cherish the rest of my life.”
He partied at a bash after the do in London but capped off the evening by taking his award with him for some fast food.
His sister Nell, a singer, joined him for the meal and shared these snaps on Instagram in the early hours yesterday.
Asked what he had ordered to mark the occasion, she told a follower on Twitter: “I can’t remember, but he got mad at me when I tried to have some of his BBQ sauce.”
If that’s the worst of his diva behaviour . . .
