One Direction singer Liam Payne amassed a vast net worth before his tragic death at the age of 31.
Liam died on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of the hotel he was staying at in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He is survived by son Bear, seven. And it’s thought Bear will inherit the bulk of Liam’s fortune. Liam shared Bear with singer Cheryl Tweedy, who he originally met on The X Factor when he was aged 14.

Net worth of Liam Payne following his death aged 31
During his time in the limelight, Liam amassed a huge fortune. According to his Wikipedia page, in 2020, he was worth around £47 million.
He made the bulk of his money through music, having shot to fame with One Direction in 2010.
How he earned his money
Liam rose to fame alongside Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles as part of The X Factor boyband One Direction.
After years of hits, in Europe and across the rest of the world, the boys called it a day in 2016, announcing they were going on a hiatus after Zayn left the band.
Liam went on to have solo success with his debut single Strip That Down, a more risque record and a departure from his usual boyband style. He continued to release music, culminating in his debut album LP1 in 2019.
The singer also turned producer, working on songs for girlfriend Cheryl Tweedy. He also worked with artists such as Ed Sheeran and Pharrell Williams, and teamed up Rita Ora for a song on the 50 Shades soundtrack.
In May 2023, he revealed he was working on his second album. However, he ended up postponing his first solo tour dates in Latin America after being hospitalised with a kidney infection. Reports also emerged that his second album had been scrapped.
He did return to music with the single Teardrops, though, in March of this year. It turned out to be Liam’s final release.
