Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
ED Sheeran paid himself a salary of £21million in just one year after racking in a staggering £31million. The musician, 30, who regularly tops rich lists thanks to his fortune, is known to be very generous, paying for holidays for his school friends and owns a string of properties.
His accounts from last year show his company generated £31,674,527 in turnover and made a £23,114,388 per-tax profit. Ed received £21,350,000 in dividends - not bad for a kid who once slept rough in front of Buckingham Palace and rode the tube to catch some shut-eye when he had nowhere else to go.
Amazingly the company made more than that in 2019 but Ed - who recently became a dad for the first time - decided to pay himself less.
