Harry Styles, the former One Direction star, is one of the most recognizable celebrities from the band. And despite only being in the spotlight for seven years, the Harry Styles net worth grew to over $50 million.

From his time as boy band pop star to his solo career, success just seems to be in Harry Style’s nature. But how is all this money spent?

Here’s what we know.

Harry Styles started on “The X Factor.”

The world was first introduced to Harry Styles in 2010 on the televised British singing competition, “The X Factor.” During his first solo audition, he only impressed two of the judges.

Louis Walsh was one of the people that gave him a “no” vote. But Walsh probably feels pretty silly now for not recognizing the singer’s talent, considering the fact that the Harry Styles net worth is upwards of $50 million in 2017.

During the seventh season of the show, Harry Styles was just one of the standout stars. In fact, his future band members were initially his competition. Sadly though, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson were all rejected as solo winners on the show.

However, judge Simon Cowell saw the potential in bringing the individuals together as a band. He invited them to join together and come back to compete in the group portion of the competition. The boys finished in third place.

Despite finishing third, One Direction was quite successful after the show.

Soon after the seventh season ended, Cowell signed them to his record label, Syco Records.

Harry Styles was also the inspiration behind the band name. When they couldn’t decide on what to call their group, Styles suggested “One Direction” because their goals were to go from individuals to moving together in one direction.

The One Direction net worth is $215 million, which makes sense because their 2015 “On the Road Again” tour was wildly successful, bringing in over $200 million. The boy band also made history by becoming the first group whose first four albums debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

And while all the band members are estimated to be worth around $50 million each, Harry Styles is estimated to be the top earner. On the high end, the Harry Styles net worth is pegged at $56 million.

And after Zayn Malik left One Direction in 2015, the band parted ways in 2016. Regardless, each member went on to pursue a successful solo career.

Let’s also talk about Harry Styles’ lucrative solo career.

Upping the Harry Styles net worth, was the release of his first solo album in May 2017.

As a solo artist, the British pop star took after his former band and broke a Billboard 200 record. His first solo album, “Harry Styles,” not only debuted at number one, it was also deemed the “best-selling first week by a British male artist’s debut album.”

The self-titled album sold 230,000 copies in the first week.

But naming the album after himself wasn’t his first favored option. The pop star originally wanted to go with the title “Pink,” inspired by the Clash’s Paul Simonon deeming pink “the only true rock and roll color.”

And while Styles has spoken positively about his experiences as a One Direction band member in multiple interviews, he told “Rolling Stone” he was also happy he could pursue a solo path.

“I think it was tough to really delve in and find out who you are as a writer when you’re just kind of dipping your toe each time,” he said about his limited songwriting power in the band. “We didn’t get the six months to see what kind of shit you can work with. To have time to live with a song, see what you love as a fan, chip at it, hone it and go for that … it’s heaven.”

And he also noted, a solo career was his opportunity to give fans a more personal view of who he is.

“I didn’t want to write stories,'” he said. “I wanted to write my stories, things that happened to me. The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest. I hadn’t done that before.”

So where does a 23-year-old boy band star spend his money?

But his Ferrari California from 2012 is just one of the many cars Harry Styles’ money is spent on.

The popular singer also owns a Porsche 911 Sport Classic, Jaguar E-Type Roadster, Classic Mercedes Benz, Range Rover Sport and an Audi R8 Coupe.

When he’s not out on the road, he loves to relax in some of the priciest mansions.

Not only did Harry Styles own a London home in 2012 worth over $3 million – which was deemed his party palace – he also had a pad in Beverly Hills that sold for $3.175 million.

And reports came out in May that his current Hollywood Hills mansion is on the market for $8.5 million. Speculators say this is likely because he will soon tour for his first solo album.

We guess this means those televised singing competitions can really pay out. And we can’t wait to see what builds the Harry Styles net worth next.
