One Direction's Wealthiest Members, Ranked by Net Worth (It's a Tight Race, But No. 1 is the Richest by a Strong Lead)

The massive success of One Direction set the members of the boy band up to dominate the music industry, and their long-running success is reflected in their very impressive net worth!

After coming together on The X Factor in 2010, the group took off in a big way. They conquered the world with solid gold hits such as “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Steal My Girl” and “Story of My Life.”

At the peak of their time together, the quintet commanded a following comparable to the Beatles in the ’60s and newer groups like the Backstreet Boys. The level of fandom has rarely been achieved since.

1D stayed near the top of the charts for six years, releasing five albums before going on hiatus. Since then, each of the members has pursued their own solo careers and found a great deal of success. Some of them have even expanded beyond the recording studio, hitting it big in Hollywood or on other reality shows.

It’s a big time for the band with Liam Payne and Zayn Malik recently launching new eras and Niall Horan on tour.

In fact, another member of the band was recently spotted at one of his shows!

With so much happening, we got curious and decided to take a look back on the members to check out what they’ve gotten up to since going solo and to see how much wealth they’ve amassed over the years.
