Adele has been making headlines like it's nobody's business, and we aren't in the slightest bit mad. The 'Hello' singer is readying the release of her upcoming album, 30, which is set to be her biggest yet; especially considering Adele fans haven't had new music in over 6 years!
Well, a new album isn't the only thing Adele is showing off! The British-born singer also has a new love in her life, and we couldn't be happier for her! During her one-on-one Oprah special this past week, Adele dished on her relationship with Rich Paul. The duo went Instagram official back in September, and have been inseparable ever since.
After being spotted out and about a handful of times, all while hearing about Rich during Adele's Oprah special, fans are more curious about him than ever! So, who is Rich Paul; what does he do, and more importantly, just how rich is Rich Paul? Let's dive in!
Rich Paul Is A Major Sports Agent
While Rich Paul is a name that has come up time and time again, particularly following his new romance with singer, Adele, it seems as if many still aren't too sure what he does. Well, not only is Rich Paul the 'Hello' singer's new boo, but he's a major name in the sports industry.
Paul works as one of the biggest sports agents after having met LeBron James back in 2002, whom he continues to represent to this very day. The two went on to work together at Creative Artists Agency, however, in 2012, Rich Paul went on to open his very own agency, Klutch Sports Group.
Since then, Rich has gone on to represent some of the biggest NBA players in the league! While LeBron remains his biggest client, Rich Paul also works with Los Angeles Lakers player, Anthony Davis, Philadelphia 76ers star, Ben Simmons, Golden State Warriors player, Draymond Green, and Lonzo Ball of the Chicago Bulls, to name a few!
As if that weren't enough, Rich is also working with Roc Nation's publishing company, Roc Lit 101, where he is working on his very own memoir, which is set to be released by Jay-Z's label. Who knew they also published books, right?
Rich Paul's Net Worth Is $120 Million
It appears as if Rich Paul certainly lives up to his name because Rich Paul is RICH! The NBA agent is worth a whopping $120 million, proving just how much money there is to be made when it comes to being a top-tier sports agent. Considering Paul represents over 20 athletes, it's no surprise he's worth so much.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Rich has facilitated deals in the industry that have come to generate over $1 billion! Considering Paul had originally signed with LeBron back in the day, making only $50,000 annually to appear as his "glorified personal assistant," Rich managed to work his way up to becoming one of the most powerful men in sports!
Adele Says Rich Is 'Hilarious' And 'Smart'
Back on November 14, 2021, Adele sat down with Oprah Winfrey for her very own one-on-one special where they dished about Adele's new album, her divorce, motherhood, Adele's weight loss, and of course, her relationship with Rich Paul. After sharing that the duo had gone out on their first day masked as a "business meeting," the singer revealed that it was actually Paul's sense of humor that got her.
The 'When We Were Young' singer revealed that Rich Paul is "hilarious and very smart," she told Oprah. Adele also shared that the two had met previously at a mutual friend's birthday party a couple of years back, however, only pondered the thought of pursuing one another earlier this year.
