Liam Payne, the former One Direction star, tragically passed away at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires, leaving fans devastated. Despite his untimely death, his impressive financial legacy remains a testament to his work and success, with an estimated net worth of $70 million.
The late singer’s fortune was largely amassed during his time with One Direction.
