Little Mix’s joint company Eternal Dance Media Ltd boasts an impressive £6million fortune in cash, MailOnline can exclusively reveal.
On Friday the pop girl band filed their accounts for the business they set up in October 2011 to look after their earnings from the group.
The band – now made up Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 29, Perrie Edwards, 28, and Jade Thirlwall, 28 – have proved they’ve lost none of their earning power despite Jesy Nelson’s exit last December and a cancelled tour last summer due to the pandemic.

It comes after back in August Jesy officially retired from the business she set up with her Little Mix bandmates to look after their earnings.
A termination of appointment for the singer, 30, as a director of Eternal Dance Media Ltd was registered with Companies House.
The star left the group in last winter after nine years saying her participation in the group had taken a toll on her mental health.
As a foursome they recorded six UK top 10 albums and four number one singles and they set up Eternal Dance Media Ltd to net their earnings as they started to rise in the early days of their fame.

MailOnline contacted Jesy’s representatives for comment at the time.
Jesy’s emotional statement when she left the band read: ‘To all my Mixers, the past nine years in Little Mix has been the most incredible time of my life…
‘The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health. I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard.
‘There comes a time in life when we need to reinvest in taking care of ourselves rather than focusing on making other people happy, and I feel like now is the time to begin that process.’
She has since been recording solo music after signing with a new global management firm.
It comes after Jesy is reportedly at risk of sparking tension between herself and her former Little Mix bandmates with her solo material which is said to sound very similar to the band’s music.
The singer is gearing up to release her debut single next month.
However, a source told The Sun that Jesy’s similar sounding tracks won’t go down well with Leigh-Anne, Jade and Perrie who it’s claimed she primarily speaks to now through lawyers.

The insider said: ‘Things have got progressively more strained, but seeing her return with a song and an image that could have been taken straight from the Little Mix playbook is going to be very divisive.
‘The girls always vowed to stay friends after all they had been through, but now most of their communication happens through intermediaries including lawyers and managers, which is a real shame.
‘Jesy’s new video shoot could have been a Little Mix single, it’s packed with choreography and the style is very similar too.’
The source added Jesy’s ex-bandmates may wonder why she quit the band when she has returned just eight months later with a similar look and sound.
MailOnline contacted representatives for Jesy Nelson and Little Mix for comment at the time.
It comes after both Leigh-Anne and Perrie welcomed their first children with their partners this summer.
