ToggleWhat Is Harry Styles’ Net Worth?
Harry Styles’ net worth is estimated at $120 million. The famous singer, songwriter, and musician became a household name with his boy band, “One Direction,” and later set out on his solo career, which has proven highly successful.
Styles has created a very lucrative career with millions of albums sold, sold-out concert tours, acting roles, a very lucrative judging role on “The Voice,” and endorsement deals.
Stick around to check out how Harry Styles’ net worth has continued to grow every year since he famously auditioned for Britain’s X Factor and was lumped in with a group of other boys who would become One Direction.
One Direction’s Album Sales And Touring Made Harry Styles Millions
One Direction sold many albums from 2011 through 2015, with no album selling fewer than 2.4 million physical copies. The boy band’s first albums sold over four million copies each. In total, the group has sold more than 18.4 million physical albums.
One Direction Album Sales By Release Year And Worldwide Sales
Album | Release Year | Total Album Sales (Worldwide) |
---|---|---|
Up All Night | 2011 | 4.5 million |
Take Me Home | 2012 | 4.4 million |
Midnight Memories | 2013 | 4 million |
FOUR | 2014 | 3.1 million |
Made in the A.M. | 2015 | 2.4 million |
The group’s album sales likely generated more than $150 million. However, with four members earning a cut of the album sales, it’s likely that Harry Style’s net worth only grew by a modest amount from actual album sales.
One Direction is the only group in Billboard’s 200 albums chart history to debut their first four albums in a row at number one.
One Direction’s Streaming Success On Spotify Has Increased Harry Styles’ Net Worth
One Direction has wracked up more than 20 billion streams on Spotify as of February 11, 2024. The group appears only on its tracks, which means all earnings from their work are attributed to their bottom line.
Total | As lead | Solo | |
---|---|---|---|
Streams | 20,036,990,034 | 20,036,990,034 | 19,954,583,468 |
Daily | 9,342,756 | 9,342,756 | 9,336,260 |
Tracks | 123 | 123 | 108 |
Industry estimates have placed the value of a stream at $.003 to $.005. That would make every one billion streams worth $3 million to $5 million.
Based on those industry estimates (it should be noted that Spotify denies paying per stream), the groups streaming just on Spotify would be worth between $60 million and $100 million.
We typically estimate that artists receive 5% of royalties, and while those numbers can be higher, it’s a conservative value to ensure we don’t overestimate the value of their work. With four members in the group, each member has likely received, at most, a few million dollars from their streaming success.
As of February 11, 2024, the group has also racked up over 12 billion YouTube video streams. If we conservatively assume they make a $1 RPM (earnings for every 1,000 views), their music has likely brought in at least $12 million on the platform.
Throw in other streaming services such as Apple Music, Pandora, Tidal, and Amazon Music, and the group’s music has certainly earned millions more in revenue, contributing to Harry Styles’ net worth.
One Direction Tour Revenue Helped Make Harry Styles Rich
One Direction was one of the biggest touring acts in the world from 2011 through 2015. In total, the group racked up just over $663 million in touring revenue.
The group’s “Where We Are Tour” in 2014 was their most successful outing, bringing in more than a quarter of a billion dollars.
Here’s how the group’s tours stacked up over the years according to TheThings.
Tour Name | Dates | Gross Revenue (USD) |
---|---|---|
Up All Night Tour | 2011-2012 | $57,795,451 |
Take Me Home Tour | 2013 | $114,551,556 |
Where We Are Tour | 2014 | $282,206,099 |
On the Road Again Tour | 2015 | $208,508,562 |
Total Tour Earnings | $663,061,668 |
Musicians earn the bulk of their money from tours, sometimes up to 85% of earnings after promoters and management are paid, according to Inside The Industry. If we assume that half of the money from the group’s tours went to production and other costs, it’s still likely that Harry Styles and his bandmates each earned tens of millions from their massively successful tours.
How Much Has Harry Styles Earned From His Solo Albums?
2015 was the last year One Direction recorded music and toured together; since then, Harry Styles’s net worth has grown because of his successful solo career. In 2024, Harry Styles is one of the richest musicians in the world, ranking above all of his former bandmates.
At least part of Harry Styles’ fortune has come from his solo music catalog
In 2017, Harry Styles released his debut solo album, “Harry Styles,” and it quickly sold more than one million albums. Since then, he has released two more albums with worldwide sales of more than 6.3 million, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, Billboard, and Chartmasters.
Album Title | Release Year | Estimated Sales (Worldwide) |
---|---|---|
Harry Styles | 2017 | 1 Million + |
Fine Line | 2019 | 4.1 Million + |
Harry’s House | 2022 | 1.2 Million + |
Harry’s House was the best-selling album of 2022 in the UK and achieved the biggest first-week sales for a pop album in 2022 in the US.
Remember that physical and equivalent album sales often lead to discrepancies in reporting, so for our purposes, we assume that album sales likely equated to a conservative total of $50 million or more in total sales.
Styles likely earned millions for his total album sales as his star power could command 10% or higher royalties from each album’s profits.
Harry Styles’s Net Worth Also Has A Spotify Streaming Factor
Harry Styles’ work as a solo artist has earned him even more Spotify streams than he racked up with One Direction. According to Kworb, as of February 11, 2024, Style has received 20.59 billion streams.
Total | As Lead | Solo | |
---|---|---|---|
Streams | 20,596,850,253 | 20,596,850,253 | 20,596,850,253 |
Daily | 11,079,438 | 11,079,438 | 11,079,438 |
Tracks | 37 | 37 | 37 |
Once again, at $3 million to $5 million for every one billion streams, Harry Style’s solo music has likely racked up between $61.5 million and $102.5 million in total revenue.
Harry Style’s YouTube streams have also brought in 4.8 billion streams as of February 11, 2024, likely resulting in a minimum revenue of $4.8 million at a conservative $1 RPM.
Throw in Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other streaming services, and Harry Styles’ net worth has likely grown in the millions from album sales and streaming revenue.
Harry Styles’s Net Worth Is Owed Largely To His Massive Concert Tour Success
Harry Styles has embarked on two solo tours since leaving One Direction.
- Harry Styles: Live on Tour (2017-2018): This was his debut solo tour, promoting his self-titled debut album. It consisted of two legs, with the first spanning smaller venues in North America and the second hitting arenas worldwide.
- Love on Tour (2021-2023): This tour supported his second and third studio albums, “Fine Line” and “Harry’s House,” and ran for an impressive 22 months across seven legs, visiting multiple continents.
While we don’t know how much revenue Styles’ “Live On Tour” generated, it was certainly far eclipsed by his “Love On Tour” outing, which generated $617.3 million in ticket sales to become the fifth-highest earning tour of all time back in August 2023, according to Forbes.
For his Love On Tour shows, the successful group and solo singer sold more than 5 million tickets for 169 shows.
Based on those numbers, it’s very likely that Harry Styles earned more from his solo tour than he did throughout his One Direction career.
Harry Style Has Also Developed A Growing Acting Career
While Harry Styles’ net worth is mostly owed to his time in One Direction and his solo music career, he has also proven himself a successful actor.
Harry Styles made his acting debut in Christopher Nolan’s movie “Dunkirk” and was paid $3.4 million, according to Business Insider.
Styles continues to act, and his starring role in “Don’t Worry Darling” earned him a reported $2.5 million, according to Variety.
Harry Styles’ Brand Endorsements Are With Big Brands
Harry Styles’ has likely commanded millions in additional salary by working with Pepsi, Apple, and Gucci and even appearing in car commercials.
We don’t know exactly how much Styles was paid for his commercial work, but in 2022, he donated his entire Apple endorsement paycheck for Apple’s AirPods to a refugee aid group. While we don’t know the total donation, NME has reported a gun safety donation by Styles for an estimated $1 million.
Here’s a Pepsi commercial Harry Styles appeared in with his former One Direction bandmates.
It’s likely that Styles’ has brought in at least a few million dollars, given his celebrity stature and the big-name brands he has chosen to align his image with over the years.
Harry Style’s net worth has grown incredibly quickly since 2011. Based on our current estimate, it’s likely that over the entirety of his career, he has personally generated close to a quarter of a billion dollars in revenue or around $20 million per year.
Harry Styles is only 30 years old, and with the popularity of his music and growing acting career, we have a feeling there is still a lot of entertainment to come out of the artist and an even bigger fortune that is likely to follow his work.
