Boy band One Direction has topped a list of the richest British celebrities under 30 with an estimated fortune of £59.33 million between them.

For the first time, Heat Magazine's list (which was launched in 2010) was not led by Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe.

Radcliffe had to settle for second place with an estimated fortune of £56.19m. His Potter co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint also appeared in the top 10 in fifth and seventh place.

Twilight actor Robert Pattinson was third while songstress Adele was sixth.

One Direction were classed with a singular position for their combined earnings because their money has been generated due to their work as a team rather than via any solo endeavours.

The band's fortune should increase sharply in time for next year's list as they are soon to release their album, Midnight Memories.

The highest new entry is DJ Calvin Harris, in an number eight. Positions nine and 10 were also filled by music stars: Cheryl Cole and Leona Lewis.

To calculate the results, industry experts examined factors such as screen appearance fees, record sales and product endorsements.

1. One Direction - £59.33m
2. Daniel Radcliffe - £56.19m
3. Robert Pattinson - £44.16m
4. Keira Knightley - £37.28m
5. Emma Watson - £27.93m
6. Adele - £27.54m
7. Rupert Grint - £24.09m
8. Calvin Harris - £22.21m
9. Cheryl Cole - £15.5m
10. Leona Lewis - £14.45m
