Little Mix have become the UK s top earning young female positions, after boosting their joined fortune by £6million over the past year, giving them a combined net worth of £54million.
Perrie Edwards, 27, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 29, and Jade Thirlwall, 28, have pressed on as a trio this year, following the December departure of bandmate Jesy Nelson, 29, with whom they have reportedly severed financial ties.
And the Shout Out To My Ex hitmakers now have more cash to share among themselves as they climb their way up The Sunday Times newly-unveiled annual Rich List.

A record 171 billionaires in the UK saw their fortunes soar by more than a fifth as they shook off the financial toll of the pandemic, the Sunday Times Rich List reveals.
Ukrainian-born Sir Leonard Blavatnik, 63, has topped the Rich List for the second time with his £23billion fortune following a £7.219billion leap in his wealth.
Overall, the number of UK-based billionaires has jumped by 24 per cent compared to 2020 in a stark contrast with the economic turmoil of a global crisis which saw millions enter furlough.
But this had little impact on the very wealthiest, with the fortunes of billionaires increasing by 21.7 per cent over the year - rising by £106.5billion to £597.2billion.

The stage is set for English theatres to reopen from Monday, and venues are banking on crowds returning this summer. Which shows are opening, will audiences return - and could the comeback be short-lived?
If a playwright had written the pandemic, a theatre critic might have struggled to pin down its genre - tragedy, thriller, depressing kitchen sink drama or farce?
But they might have recognised the writer s skill in timing the plot twists.
Just as you think you re finally getting to the happy ending, the suspense, tension and terror begin to build again.
Culture vultures rejoice! Theatres, cinemas, pop arenas, concert halls and galleries reopen on Monday and what a feast of entertainment they ve got in store.
From Dua Lipa s tour, Emma Stone s deliciously evil Cruella de Vil on the big screen and Andrew Lloyd Webber s new Cinderella, to a David Hockney exhibition and Ricky Gervais s comedy show, there is something for everyone.

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway
Beatrix Potter purists may not have loved the first Peter Rabbit in 2018, but it struck 24-carrot gold at the box office.
And hit children s films always get sequels these days. This one again has a voice cast led by James Corden and Margot Robbie, with Rose Byrne and Domhnall Gleeson reprising their live-action roles. From May 17.
The show will be performed at Mayflower Theatre from July 18 to 23 2022. Based on the hilarious hit movie, this new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally performed live by the production’s young actors every night with roof-raising energy! While teaching these pint-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within.
