Since tracks like ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ and ‘Night Changes’, 1D members have all embarked on their own solo careers, with Tomlinson’s album Faith in the Future debuting at No 1 on UK Albums Chart

Styles’ last solo tour grossed US$600 million across five continents while Malik shares a daughter with supermodel Gigi Hadid; meanwhile, Niall Horan will kick off The Show: Live on Tour this month

It’s hard to believe One Direction first burst onto the music scene 14 years ago after appearing on The X Factor UK.

After becoming one of the biggest boy bands in history, selling around 65 million albums worldwide, according to Sony Music, the band went on hiatus in January 2016, focusing on their solo careers instead.

And while the five singers have had varying success on their own, they certainly need not worry about money. During their time together as a band, they raked in mega millions thanks to their lucrative tours, five studio albums and plenty of merchandise. Their last tour, 2015’s On The Road Again, grossed over US$200 million from 77 shows, selling over 2.3 million tickets in the process.

So how do the One Direction boys’ fortunes measure up in 2024, and who is laughing all the way to the bank? According to Celebrity Net Worth, here’s what we know …

1. Harry Styles, 30 – US$120 million

Having just celebrated his 30th birthday on February 1, Styles is undoubtedly the breakout star of the band, so it’s no surprise that he’s significantly wealthier than his bandmates. After taking a break from One Direction, Styles became a hugely successful solo star, releasing three studio albums. His last solo tour, which ended in July 2023, grossed over US$600 million across five continents, making it the fifth highest grossing tour of all time, per Billboard.

Of course, music isn’t Styles’ only income source. In recent years he’s also dabbled in acting, landing roles in films like Marvel’s Eternals (2021), Don’t Worry Darling (2022) and My Policeman (2022).

In 2021, Styles launched his direct-to-consumer beauty and lifestyle brand Pleasing with a line of nail polishes and skin products. These days, Styles is also on a mission to expand his fashion portfolio. Last month, he invested a minority stake in the British fashion brand Steven Stokey-Daley, per Vogue. The brand announced the news at the S.S. Daley autumn 2024 show in Florence, Italy, giving the designer financial support to “relaunch” the direct-to-consumer website and hire more staff.
