Leona has been named as one of Britain’s richest young people - just 18 months after winning X-Factor.

The list, which is part of the Sunday Times Rich List, recorded Leona Lewis, 23, as being worth £6 million after finding fame on both sides of the Atlantic.

She is the first British solo artist to have a debut album top the US charts, and in Britain she had the biggest selling single of 2007 with Bleeding Love.

Her global career is being masterminded by X Factor judge, Simon Cowell.
