DANIEL RADCLIFFE

Films

Radcliffe’s latest film role could hardly be more different from

Harry Potter. The actor, 27, played a rookie FBI officer infiltrating

a white supremacist group in last year’s Imperium. Yesterday he

finished a run in the London stage production of Ros encrantz &

Guildenstern Are Dead. Radcliffe, born in London, spends much

of his time in New York with his girlfriend, US actress Erin Darke,

rose by more than £4m to £63.9m in 2015-16. 2016: £74m, 8

GARETH BALE

Football Real Madrid

A new contract signed with Real Madrid last October is worth

£350,000 a week (£18.2m a year) after tax, making Bale, 27, one

of the highest paid sports stars in the world. Now in his fourth

season in Spain, the Cardiff-born winger’s contract keeps him at

the club until 2022. Bale, the star turn in a Wales side that

reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016 in France , also earns £9m a

year from deals with Adidas, Sony and others. 2016: £34m, 17

ED SHEERAN

Music

The flame-haired singer interrupted his sabbatical last year to

perform with guitarist Eric Clapton (qv) at one of his Japanese

gigs. A new album, Divide, came out in March: at one point, nine of

its songs were in the UK top 10 and he is listed in Time magazine’s

100 Most Influential People of 2017. A lawsuit accusing Sheeran

of copying a tune by the X Factor winner Matt Cardle was settled

out of court last month. Sheeran, 26, who was born in Halifax,

owns a Suffolk farm and a £9m London home. 2016: £45m, 14=

JACK CATOR

Software

The teenage Cator, now 28, wanted to play computer games in

the classroom but his school’s IT network blocked him, so he

wrote a program in order to dodge its security filters. It was the

start of his virtual private network service Hide My Ass. AVG, a

global software company, bought the business for £40m in 2015.

Accounts for Norfolk-born Cator’s company for 2014-15 showed

profits of £2.6m on sales of £13.7m. 2016: £45m, 14=

Chris Martin, with Stevie Wonder fl ying in from the US to

sing at the couple’s ceremony and Ed Sheeran (qv)

off -course commercial activities. McIlroy, from Holywood

in Co Down, hit the jackpot recently when he extended his

tie-up with Nike in a new £80m deal over 10 years. He also

has endorsement contracts with Omega and Bose. His

with Mencap Northern Ireland receiving £500,000

towards the cost of a new centre in Belfast. 2016: £56m, 12
