One Direction star's net worth uncovered as Liam leaves huge fortune to ex
One Direction became the biggest band in the world and racked up impressive bank balances due to their success – but just how much are they actually worth? One Direction achieved astronomical success, which saw their bank balances also rocket. Since finding fame in 2010, the group have sold over 70 million records across the globe, with the band being worth an estimated £749 million. Despite having soaring success as a group, the band have gone on to achieve success as solo artists following the departure of Zayn Malik in 2015 and his remaining bandmates going on an indefinite hiatus the following year. It's not just music that the band have cashed in on as they've also signed for dozens of brand deals, as well as endless merchandising and releasing their own movie and perfumes. Earlier this week, it emerged that following Liam Payne's tragic death last year, he had left a sum of £28million behind to his son, Bear Payne, eight, and his ex-girlfriend, Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl Tweedy. Despite having no will, Liam's estate totalled £24,279,728 after various deductions. Here, we take a look at the band's net worths and how the lads including Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik have made their hefty fortunes. Liam Payne In an emotional interview from 2022, Liam suggested all of his money was going to his son Bear. The Strip That Down singer said: "My life now is his, my money is his. I have actually got several companies that are up and running that I know he can run one day if he wants to or [he can sell them]." Liam also helped pay for a £4million home for Cheryl and Bear in the Buckinghamshire village of Chalfont St Peter. When he split with Cheryl, Liam then splashed out on a home nearby. The star didn't have a will when he fell to his death from the third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. On Wednesday, it was revealed his ex and mother of his child, Cheryl Tweedy, was granted the power of administration of the late Liam 's estate. He left behind £24.3million. According to court documents filed on May 1, music lawyer Richard Bray was also named as an administrator. He left behind £28.6million, which after expenses and debts were paid, went down to £24.3million. While a lot of his wealth came from One Direction, he also made a name for himself as a solo singer, releasing his debut solo album LP1 in December 2019. After leaving the group, Liam made sure to invest in property despite struggling with addictions. Louis Tomlinson One Direction once earned £45million in one year alone, according to The Sunday Times' list of richest musicians aged 30 and under. Four years after the lads met, the members had an individual net worth of £15 million. And now, years after they went on hiatus, Louis is said to have a net worth of £54million. The singer, who also has solo work, previously bought himself an £80,000 Porsche Boxster, a £90,000 Range Rover and a £2.5million property in north London. He released debut studio album, Walls, in 2020 and his second studio album, Faith in the Future, in 2022 - which debuted at No. 1 in the UK Not only does he earn money from music, touring and merchandising, he also has three companies: 78 Production, LT Publishing and LT Media. Last year, LT Publishing had assets totalling a staggering £229,908. Meanwhile, 78 Productions had assets of £3.57million. Niall Horan Niall Horan was last with Liam weeks before his death when the latter attended his concert in Buenos Aires. Reflecting on their time together, he said at the time, 'We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever. The bond and friendship we had doesn't happen often in a lifetime.' The singer reportedly has a net worth of £52 million, which he earned through 1D, solo work and touring. He completed his The Show Live On Tour recently, with millions of fans supporting him. The 31-year-old released three solo albums and even followed his passion by finding a golf management company called Modest Golf with Mark McDonnell, which had a profit of £125,000 between 2022 and 2023. He even has a stake in the Irish athleisure brand Gym+Coffee In 2023, he was one of the coaches of The Voice, with him returning the following season much to the delight of fans. Niall also has a touring firm called BAI which profited £2.08million between 2023 and 2024. Zayn Malik Zayn has an estimated net worth of £56.2million, which is unsurprising as he enjoyed a successful solo career after leaving One Direction in 2015. His debut solo single, Pillow Talk, reached No. 1 in several countries, with the debut album Mind of Mine receiving positive reviews. He went on to release three more solo albums. Zayn tried his hand at many businesses, including releasing a shoe line with Giuseppe Zanotti. He collaborated with may fashion houses for several campaigns and even became the creative director for a men's and women's capsule collection called Zayn x Venus for Versace. In 2018, he designed a backpack for The Kooples. Not only does he earn money from fashion, but his account also fills up thanks to his touring and merchandise. The star, who shares a child with Gigi Hadid, is the co-owner and Chief Creative Officer of Mixoloshe, a non-alcoholic cocktail brand. Harry Styles Harry Styles has the biggest net worth of them all, coming out on top at £150 million. The 31-year-old's solo albums were wildly successful, with Fine Line debuting atop the US Billboard 200 with the biggest ever first-week sales by an English male artist. His widely acclaimed third album, Harry's House (2022), broke many records and saw him bag the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. As It Was, the lead single, became the number-one song of 2022 globally. The singer also received six Brit Awards, three Grammy Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards, three AMAs and four MTV VMAs. Not only is a fan-favourite singer but he also ventured into acting. The star had roles in Dunkirk, Don't Worry Darling and My Policeman. He even became the first man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue. His Love On Tour tour, which ended in the summer of 2023, became the fifth-highest-grossing tour of all time earning £463million. Meanwhile, Harry owns Erskine and a publishing firm called HSA. In one year, Erskine made a proft of £31million between 2021 and 2022, bringing the total cash at bank and in hand to £74,738million. He is also co-founder and owner of Pleasing - a unisex nail care, beauty, and lifestyle brand - which had a £1.2million profit between 2021 and 2022. HSA Publishing also had £14.14 million in the bank
