Ed Sheeran is having a very merry Christmas after paying himself £73.4m in earnings

Ed Sheeran paid himself £73.4-million in earnings from his ‘Divide Tour’ this year.

The 28-year-old singer/songwriter effectively pocketed a cool £201 000 (about R6.3-million) per day in 2019 thanks to the 258-date run of shows, which began in March 2017 and came to an end in August 2019, a huge increase on the £17.1 million the star paid himself last year.
