Since their beginning on the seventh season of The X Factor in 2010, the One Direction boys have been stealing the hearts of fans everywhere. Every generation has their “it” boy band and 1D definitely made its mark, selling 70 million records as of 2020 and winning nearly 200 awards, including seven Brit awards and six Billboard music awards. Never on a month of Sundays: The Weeknd calls time on the Grammys After their boot-camp training during The X Factor , all five boys failed to pass as solo acts in the show’s “boys” category. However, host Simon Cowell decided to call the five back to form a group, giving them a second chance. Despite placing third in the season, One Direction went on to take the world by storm and became one of the best selling boy-bands of all time. Since Zayn Malik’s departure and the band’s indefinite hiatus, the One Direction boys have all gone their separate ways (though we’re still holding out for a potential reunion!) We’ve seen them grow from a group of young ambitious boys to successful solo artists, with some members even becoming fathers today. All that success is great and all, but what about their pay cheques? In other words, which One Direction member is the richest? Are AI idol groups the future of K-pop? Harry Styles Estimated net worth: US$80 million Styles has released two solo albums, “Harry Styles” in 2017 and “Fine Line” in 2019, since One Direction’s hiatus. Both albums achieved platinum certification in multiple countries. Concert tickets for his self-titled album tour in 2017 sold out within seconds across 27 markets. Although his second tour, “Love On Tour”, was postponed due to the pandemic, its North American has been rescheduled to start on August 14.

In September 2020, he bought his third house in Hampstead, London – the third house on the same street even. Rumour has it that he plans to combine all three into one mega-house. He’s also got a flat in Tribeca, New York, in the same building as Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. On the west coast, Styles previously owned a mansion above the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, valued at US$6 million when it was sold in 2019. His other mansion located in Beverly Hills was sold for US $3.1 million in 2016. Zayn Malik Estimated net worth: US$75 million Since his departure from the band in 2016, Malik has released multiple solo albums including “Mind of Mine”. His solo music has been featured in Hollywood blockbuster films like 50 Shades Darker and the 2019 remake of Aladdin . Inside Zayn Malik’s US$10 million New York City apartment Since debuting on the Business of Fashion’s annual BoF500 index in 2016, Malik has been making his mark on the fashion world too. In 2017, he released his own collection under Versace’s diffusion line “Versus”, titled “ZaynxVersus”. He also collaborated with luxury shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti to release a line of trainers and boots under “Giuseppe for Zayn”. On September 23, 2020, Malik and his partner Gigi Hadid welcomed a baby daughter, Khai. Judging by occasional updates on her Instagram, the couple are elated to be parents. As of now, Malik owns an impressive car collection including a Bentley Continental GT, a Porsche Cayenne and a Ferrari 458 Italia. Meet Drake’s adorable three-year-old ‘secret’ son, Adonis Liam Payne Estimated net worth: US$70 million As one of the main songwriters in One Direction, Payne has continued his work as a music producer under the names “Big Payno” or “Payno”, producing music for his now ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole in 2014. Payne also founded Hampton Music Limited; he’s a director there as well as at One Mode Productions Limited. Liam Payne girlfriend Maya Henry flaunts £3 million emerald-cut diamond engagement ring https://t.co/Lvd9bOXOnv pic.twitter.com/mzWye3nsV5 — Daily Express (@Daily_Express) August 28, 2020 When it comes to Payne’s love life, he’s been with multiple ladies over the years, from dating his childhood friend Sophia Smith to having a son with Cheryl Cole. He was even rumoured to be with Naomi Campbell at one point. He might not be married, but he came close to tying the knot with model Maya Henry . In 2019, Payne splurged a whopping US$4.17 million to remodel a family heirloom ring that belonged to Henry’s grandmother, for Henry to wear as an engagement ring . The square-cut diamond was big enough to be seen from a distance, making the ring rejig definitely one of Payne’s most memorable purchases. Payne also has his fair share of international properties. He previously owned a mansion in Malibu, California, worth US$10.75 million and another in Surrey, England, worth US$7.2 million. He listed them for sale in 2020 and 2021. But Payne’s recent Instagram posts suggest he and Henry might be back together again, living in a seven-bedroom mansion in Buckinghamshire, England, worth US$6.9 million. The ex factor: are these celebrities getting back together? Louis Tomlinson Estimated net worth: US$70 million Leading up to the band’s hiatus in March 2016, Tomlinson created a record label, Triple Strings Limited, under Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment. Billboard reported that he would be working with Cowell to create a girl band in 2015, and that the pair were holding auditions. (Unfortunately, according to later media reports, the band broke up before releasing a single song.) Tomlinson also shone on TV, as he returned to The X Factor in 2015 as an assisting mentor along with Cowell for the “over 26” category of participants. In 2019, Tomlinson announced that he would be embarking on a world tour for five months, visiting 20 different countries. However, the tour was postponed due to the pandemic and has been rescheduled for 2022, with many dates already being sold out. Tomlinson has also been involved with charity work since his One Direction days. He has worked with the Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice and is one of the hospital’s patrons. In 2016, he played alongside Robbie Williams, Olly Murs and other English stars in Soccer Aid 2016, a fundraiser for Unicef. Tomlinson’s passion for football started at an early age. From 2013 to 2014, he was a development and reserve player for the Doncaster Rovers, his hometown team. In June 2014, he and chairman John Ryan announced that they would take over as joint owners of the club, but the plan fell through soon after. K-pop’s most fashionable men: who’s wearing what? Niall Horan Estimated net worth: US$70 million Horan has been best known for his guitar playing skills since his 1D days, and that’s carried on well into his solo music career. According to Entertainment Weekly, his inspirations for his debut studio album “Flicker” included notable rock stars like Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles. Horan embarked on multiple tours throughout his career to promote his music, including the “Flicker World Tour” in 2018, though his “Nice to Meet Ya Tour” has been postponed indefinitely. In late 2020, Horan held a virtual concert in Royal Albert Hall, which was streamed to 151 countries and sold 125,000 tickets. While Horan may not splash much cash for himself, he certainly isn’t shy about doing so for his family. After making it big on The X Factor along with the rest of the One Direction boys, he told the Irish Mirror that he paid off his mother’s mortgage and bought her a car. Horan also attempted to buy a house for his father, who refused the offer. Celine Dion: ‘Oh my God, I wish I could sing other songs’ Horan has also made moves in the business world. In early 2016, he founded Modest! Golf Management with Mark McDonnell and Ian Watts. The company signs and manages golf players. Horan also recently became an investor and adviser to Irish athleisure brand, Gym+Coffee, in April this year. Want more stories like this? Sign up here.
