'One Direction' has claimed the top position in Britain's richest stars under 30 with annual earnings of 77.5 million pounds.
In the Heat magazine's annual list, the boy band, which comprises of Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Liam Payne was followed by Daniel Radcliffe, Robert Pattinson, Keira Knightley and Adele, the Mirror reported.
The boys, whose activities include selling their name and image rights to Coles supermarkets in Australia, launching two perfumes, go on a world tour and sell 4 million copies of 'Midnight Memories', have claimed the top spot 2nd year in a row.
Radcliffe, 25, who secured the 2nd rank in the list with an estimated fortune of 63.5 million pounds, joked that he should be considered number one in the list as there were 5 people in the band.
However, fortunes the British stars' still had a long way to match the international stakes as the top five earners from outside of Britain were 28-year-old twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen with a huge 182 million pounds fortune, while Lady Gaga came 2nd with 132 million pounds, Justin Bieber came 3rd with 105 million, Taylor Swift 4th with 86 million and Miley Cyrus 5th with 78 million pounds.
