As per The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, his assets have jumped from just £16,500 last year.

It was just last year, when Lewis made fun of reports suggesting he's worth $10 million.

After Googling himself, the 'Someone You Loved' singer denied the inaccuracy and quipped: "It says 'according to Forbes and Wikipedia, Lewis Capaldi's estimated net worth is $10million'. I have less than £200 in my bank right now so who the f*** has my $10million?"

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old singer's lack of funds previously led to an awkward moment at Glastonbury, when his card got declined whilst paying for a tab of shots that he bought for himself, Sam Smith and Niall Horan.

He recalled at the time: "I"m really s*** at transferring money on to cards.

"I just played and I was so excited so I was like, 'Let's get some shots', and then I completed f***** it.

"I think Jack Whitehall's sister's fiance paid as I f***** it."

Meanwhile, despite his global stardom, Lewis still lives with his parents in Scotland.

He recently said: "There's always room to earn more. I still live with my parents so I don't think I am earning that much money!

"And all I spend my money on is food because I can't help stuffing my face. I am splurging on food and it shows, it's showing on my gut, my gut is expanding every day."

The 'Hold Me While You Wait' hitmaker - who released his record-breaking debut album, 'Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent' last May - admitted he has one purchase in mind for when he's wealthy.

He added: "I'd like to buy a nice watch one day but that's if I don't spend all my money on food...

"What do people with money buy? Exotic animals? Mike Tyson had a tiger, Justin Bieber had that monkey, Michael Jackson had a monkey too but none of these guys had big fat snakes."
