Few people understand the adage “More money, more problems” better than Ed Sheeran.

After Forbes reported that the “Castle on the Hill” singer made a cool $57 million in 2015, a lot of his pals turned out to be after his money.

“The Forbes list actually f—ked it up,” Sheeran, 26, lamented to Rolling Stone about his social life. “I was getting texts from people with pictures of cars going, ‘I’d like this for my birthday, please. This one’s only .06 percent of your annual income.'”

The hassle of so many outstretched hands is what made Sheeran ditch his cellphone and communicate with an iPad, reserving a flip phone for family members, really close friends and emergencies.

“I still don’t have a phone number,” Sheeran announced on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in February. “I bought an iPad and I just work off of email. It’s so much less stress. I don’t wake up in the morning and have to answers 50 messages of people asking for something.”

One perk that didn’t bother Sheeran before he settled down with girlfriend Cherry Seaborn: the availability of willing one-night stands, courtesy of his own notoriety as well as his friendship with Taylor Swift.

“Taylor’s world is celebrity,” he said. “I was this 22-year-old awkward British kid going on tour with the biggest artist in America, who has all these famous mates. It was very easy … I would often find myself in situations just kind of waking up and looking over and being like, ‘How the f—k did that happen?'”
