We know he owned multiple homes, had residuals from his time in One Direction, and his solo musical career. Per Hollywood Life, he was the global ambassador for the fashion brand Hugo Boss, had his own NFT digital art collection called “Lonely Bug,” and more.
Now, how do we know Payne left aside money? Well, back in 2022, he talked about it via Hello. “My life now is his, my money is his,” he said. “I have actually got several companies that are up and running that I know he can run one day if he wants to or [he can sell them].”
As many know, the former One Direction singer died earlier this week in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony. He is survived by his son Bear, born on March 2017, with whom he shared with his ex-girlfriend Cheryl.
Cheryl shared a heartbreaking tribute to the father of her son, saying, “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being,” she begins. “Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.”
