The shock death of One Direction star Liam Payne in Buenos Aires sees the 31-year-old leave behind a mega fortune for his only child.
According to local police reports via CNN, Payne died after falling from a third-floor balcony in Buenos Aires at a hotel on Costa Rica Street in Palermo.
Payne shares his only child, a son born in 2017, Bear Gray Payne, with former Girls Aloud singer and former X Factor UK judge Cheryl Cole.
Payne’s amassed a net worth of over AU$109m (around £56m) and achieved this through his musical career, numerous tours, and property portfolio that included homes in the lush hills of Malibu and the scenic county of Surrey in South West England.
Payne captured the world’s attention alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan as part of the British boy band phenomenon One Direction when they first found fame on the UK reality show The X Factor in 2010.
The band became a global sensation before announcing a hiatus in 2015. Payne then pursued a solo career, releasing his debut album “LP1” in 2019.
Properties that make up part of Payne’s fortune include:
Monte Nido Mansion:
In 2021, Liam Payne, former member of mega boy band One Direction, made headlines with the sale of his haunted Monte Nido mansion for $A13.1m ($US10.161m).
Payne was unable to sell the home for several years.
The transaction barely turned a profit over five years after he purchased the property for $US10m in 2015 – Payne said at the time his then partner Cheryl Cole had paranormal experiences in the residence.
Payne revealed Cheryl avoided the top room during her pregnancy with son Bear, fearing the supernatural presence he believed existed in the home.
The singer recounted eerie occurrences such as flickering lights and randomly running taps.
Initially listing the charming mansion for $US14m in 2018 before dropping the price to $US10.75m — pop sensation Halsey was named as the new owner.
The mansion nestled in the hills above Malibu, the sprawling estate spanned nearly five acres.
Some features of the home included a main 9,700-square-foot house, guesthouse, recording studio, and various entertainment amenities.
The lush grounds boast manicured gardens, koi ponds, waterfalls, a pool, and a meditation house designed to offer serenity and elegance.
