Little Mix made £9m last year and paid themselves £1.6m each as they step out in incredible metallic outfits in London
LITTLE Mix earned £9 million last year - making them The X Factor's richest winners.
What's more, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall have made over £30 million as a group since they won the 2011 series and the only other champ to get close to them is Leona Lewis.
On Monday the popstars lodged publicly-available documents with Companies House - Britain's register of firms.
Their company, Eternal Dance Media Ltd, which handles their music and merchandise, was launched in 2011 when they met on Simon Cowell's talent show.
It was set up to funnel their earnings through and the entertainment firm, co-owned by the singers, has continued to record profits.
New accounts filed this week showed their company is healthy and thriving.
The figures, published on September 30th, revealed they doubled their earnings last year, making £3.93 million (£1.747m in 2017).
Their tour company, Eternal Magic Touring Ltd, also had profits of £5 million, so altogether they made £8.93 million in 2018.
To top it off, they have £10 million quid just sitting in the bank, according to the accounts.
No wonder they paid themselves dividends of £1.6 million each.
The band are now set to rake in more cash thanks to a collection with PrettyLittleThing.
Last week, they juggled a lengthy fashion shoot with dates on their LM5 tour as they jetted back from Belgium after delighting crowds in Amsterdam.
They are booked to perform in London later this month at The O2.
