Niall Horan is worth €17 million… and made €11 million this year

Niall Horan is worth a massive €17 million – adding €11 million to his fortune in the last year

And One Direction together are worth a phenomenal €84 million, the Sunday Times Rich List has revealed.

The Mullingar singer’s fortune has rocketed due to income from the band’s latest world tour, DVD and merchandise sales and big-money endorsement deals.

Rich List editor Ian Coxon said: “The group performed 136 shows in 78 cities in 2013, which generated box office revenues of $114 million. They played to total audiences of just under 1.5million people.

“They’ve had top-selling albums, sell-out tours, DVDs, a book and they have even endorsed a perfume. There hasn’t been another boyband who have made so much money so quickly.

“Whether they will carry on at the same rate is anybody’s guess. It is difficult for a boyband to sustain success and the chances of them staying together in the long-term are slim… It is whether or not they can continue to attract crowds and wider audiences.”
