Rita Ora has doubled her earnings in a single year and all without releasing a new album.

The Ritual singer has amassed a whopping £10.2m in 12 months after lucrative advertising deals with several brands and developing her property portfolio.

According to new figures savvy Rita, 29, is worth millions in part thanks to her companies Rora Properties, Ora Multi Services and Ora Live which handles her live shows.

In 2019 Rita released just one standalone single, Carry On, as part of the soundtrack to Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, which she also had a small voice role in.

She kickstarted last year with her Phoenix World Tour, which lasted until May, her fourth concert tour after two solo albums.

But she spent the best part of the year filming for her role in Twist, a remake of Oliver Twist, where she will play Dodge.

Rita managed to take a couple of breaks in between work as she was spotted on a lavish superyacht in St Barts during a festive break as well as summer trips to Ibiza and Turkey.

Other than that she was announced as a UNICEF ambassador as well as becoming the face of several German brands.

That included luxury fashion label, Escada, which she co-designed a collection for; jewellery company, Thomas Sabo, and footwear retailer, Deichmann.

That's alongside her already existing endorsement deals that have helped boost her fortune including Coca Cola, Rimmel and Adidas.

It was reported that Rita, who attended the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre school, invested £1.5m into a mansion for her parents in their native home of Kosovo.

She has always been open about how her parents cared for her and her three siblings growing up and wanted to pay them back for their generosity, gifting them her own north London home in 2014.

Rita also signed on as a judge on reality TV with celebrity singing competition on ITV's The Masked Singer which kicked off at the beginning of January.

As well as her new Twist movie, Rita has also appeared in other flicks like Fifty Shades series as well as a part in Fast and the Furious 6.

Fans will also have new music to look forward to after she announced that she has been in the studio recording her third album.

That comes a decade after she was signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation music label just hours after she met with the mogul and has since been nominated for three awards at the 2013 BRIT Awards, including the BRIT Award for British Breakthrough Act.

Alongside the new music Rita has lined up several big performances with a slot at British Summertime in Hyde Park as well as a series of music festivals in South America according to the Sun.
