Singer Ed Sheeran earned 1.3 million pounds in the last year including profits of over 166,000 pounds, according to documents filed at the UK's Companies House.

The 22-year-old, who shot to fame in 2011 with hits like 'The A Team' and 'Lego House', has reportedly made more than 2.3 million pounds from his business Ed Sheeran Limited since 2011, reported Contactmusic.

"Ed works extremely hard. He's grafted 24/7 ever since his first hit single. He barely has any time off because he's either on tour, writing his follow-up album or making tracks for the likes of One Direction. So the money just comes rolling in," a source said.
 

As well as writing his own hits, Sheeran has penned tracks for boy band One Direction, including their single 'Little Things'.

The 'Give Me Love' hitmaker, who recently relocated to Tennessee after spending the last year touring the US with Taylor Swift, is set to release the follow-up to his debut album '+'.
