One Direction catapulted onto the musical stage a staggering 14 years ago, a trajectory initiated by their stint on The X Factor UK.
From their inception, they morphed into one of the most formidable boy bands in history, boasting a global album sales record of approximately 65 million, as attested by Sony Music. However, the zenith of their collective journey saw a hiatus in January 2016 as each member charted the course of their solo endeavors.
Despite the divergence of their paths, financial worries are not a specter haunting these five singers. However, for the moment, Harry Styles is the wealthiest of all.
At the age of 30, Harry Styles emerges as the unequivocal luminary among his bandmates. Unsurprisingly, his financial standing eclipses that of his musical cohorts. Following a hiatus from One Direction, Styles metamorphosed into a solo sensation, unveiling three studio albums that catapulted him into the echelons of musical prosperity.
The crescendo of his solo career reached its zenith with the conclusion of his latest tour in July 2023, amassing a staggering sum exceeding US$600 million across five continents. This triumphant musical journey etched its place as the fifth highest-grossing tour in history, a distinction acknowledged by Billboard.
However, Styles is not confined solely to the realm of music. In recent years, he has embarked on a foray into acting, gracing the silver screen with notable roles in films such as Marvel’s Eternals (2021), Don’t Worry Darling (2022), and My Policeman (2022).
Also, in 2021, he ventured into the beauty and lifestyle domain, birthing the direct-to-consumer brand Pleasing, featuring an array of nail polishes and skincare products. Evidently, the polymathic artist is on a trajectory to broaden his influence in the fashion landscape, having recently acquired a minority stake in the British fashion brand Steven Stokey-Daley, as reported by Vogue. This strategic investment unfolded at the S.S. Daley autumn 2024 show in Florence, Italy, where it was revealed to bolster the designer’s endeavors in relaunching the direct-to-consumer website and expanding his team.
