Zain Javadd Malik was born on January 12, 1993, in Bradford, United Kingdom. The 29-year-old has an estimated net worth of $75 million, making him the second richest One Direction member.
That said, Zayn left the group and went on a solo career in 2015, five years after joining the band. According to the singer, he felt like the style of One Direction as a band didn’t match his personal style. He also claimed that he had trust issues and didn’t really make real friends in the band.
Regardless, his leaving the band didn’t exactly put a damper on his career. He still makes money from his singing career, launching his own solo album named Mind of Mine. His hits include Dusk Til Dawn, I Don’t Wanna Live Forever, and Pillowtalk.
He also earns from doing brand endorsements and modeling. For instance, he collaborated with luxury brand Versace and with luxury shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti, among many other brands.
He also has an impressive car collection which includes Bentley Continental GT, Black Porsche Cayenne, Black Audi R8, Ferrari 458 Italia, Black Range Rover, Black Mercedes Benz, Cadillac Escalade, and BMW M4 Coupe.
Zayn also gifted his parents a house as well as his younger sister and of course, himself. His real estate properties include a Bel-Air house in Los Angeles, California worth $3.5 million, a $2.8 million house in Barnet, London, a New York’s Soho District bachelors’ pad worth $10.8 million, and a farmhouse in Pennsylvania.
