Guess Who One Direction's Richest Member Is (Hint: It's Exactly Who You Think)

Typically, in a band, some members achieve greater success than others. This disparity is the most common reason bands split up: the more successful members will often feel the band's holding them back, and the less-successful ones feel underappreciated and overshadowed.

Although One Direction didn't officially disband, they parted ways in 2016, deciding to go on an indefinite hiatus. Formed in 2010, the boy band first made waves in the UK after their appearance on The X Factor, which propelled them into stardom. They subsequently conquered the global stage, becoming one of the most celebrated musical acts of all time. Their singles What Makes You Beautiful and Live While We're Young continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.

Six years into their journey, One Direction members chose to pursue solo careers after Zayn Malik departed from the group. Interestingly, although he was the first to leave the band, he hasn't been the most successful since the split.

Harry Styles is, without a doubt, the wealthiest member of One Direction. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he boasts an impressive estimated fortune of $120 million. Given how much he's accomplished since the band's hiatus, it's clear how he amassed such wealth.

In 2017, Harry Styles released his first solo album, with its single Sign of the Times dominating global music charts. His follow-up album, Fine Line, arrived in 2019, setting records for the biggest first-week sales. Harry's House, Styles's third album, debuted in 2022, earning widespread critical acclaim and a Grammy for Best Album of the Year. Altogether, Harry has secured three Grammys since embarking on his solo journey.

Furthermore, Harry Styles has successfully ventured into the realm of cinema. Since 2017, he's appeared in four notable roles: Alex in Dunkirk (2017), Eros in Eternals (2021), Jack Chambers in Don't Worry Darling (2022), and Tom Burgess in My Policeman (2022).

Styles also embarked on a global tour in 2021, culminating in his final performance in Reggio Emilia on 22 July of this year. His substantial earnings undoubtedly mirror the dedication and effort he's poured into his craft over the years. As for One Direction, their future as a band remains uncertain.
