Adele’s manager ‘paid himself £10million last year’ despite the singer not releasing any music as her new album is delayed due to COVID-19
Adele’s manager reportedly paid himself an impressive £10million last year, despite the singer not releasing any new music.
Jonathan Dickins paid himself the hefty sum from the company September Management, which made £2million in profit over 12 months and has £16million in cash reserves.
According to The Sun, Adele is still raking it in despite overall profit being down £7million from the £9million the star made in 2017.

Adele’s second company Melted Stone Ltd is also doing well, with accounts seen by the publication showing she has £44million in the bank.
The hitmaker is clearly still earning large sums despite not having released any new music since her album 25 in 2015.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Adele for comment.
Jonathan is said to be eager for the singer to return with her highly anticipated fourth album.

Speaking about the delay, Jonathan told Newsweek: ‘It isn’t coming in September, it’ll be ready when it’s ready.
‘We’re all in the same boat, you’re doing stuff and then all of a sudden, the world stops. It’ll come when it’s ready. I can’t put a date on that yet. We have music, but we’re still working.’
Adele released her debut album 19 in 2008, followed by 21 in 2011 and 25 in 2015, which each spawned massive tours.
