Adele's still hitting the bargain aisle despite £170M in the bank
Adele's worth £170 million but still hunts for bargains and cheap wine, according to Paul Drayton. The singer hasn't forgotten her Tottenham roots.
You'd think someone worth £170 million would've ditched the discount wine section by now. But Adele? She's still out there hunting deals like she never left Tottenham.
Paul Drayton, who used to date Alan Carr, spilled the tea on the superstar's surprisingly down-to-earth shopping habits. Turns out the Grammy winner hasn't gone all bougie just because her bank account exploded. She grew up in a regular working-class home in North London, and apparently that stuck with her.
The whole thing's kind of refreshing, honestly. Most people rake in that kind of money and suddenly they're too good for a Sainsbury's basics wine or a decent bargain in the clothing section. Not Adele. She's kept one foot firmly planted in reality.
It's not like she's pretending to be poor or anything — nobody thinks she's struggling. But there's something weirdly relatable about knowing that someone worth nearly a quarter-billion quid still gets a little buzz from finding something half-price. Drayton's observation basically confirms what a lot of people suspected: money changed her career, not her personality.
This isn't exactly shocking news if you've paid attention to Adele over the years. She's never been the type to play the diva card or get weird about her wealth. Sure, she's got the mansion and the security and all that, but she's always seemed genuinely grounded about where she came from.
So yeah, she'll drop serious cash on whatever she wants. But she'll also grab a bottle of supermarket wine and feel pretty good about it. And honestly, that's kind of the best flex — having everything and still knowing how to enjoy the small stuff.
