So, One Direction are to split and millions of teenage hearts are breaking. Yet, even as we heard the news yesterday and parents were warned to watch out for signs of their daughters self-harming, there was one important caveat: it won’t be until March next year.

For while most bands break-up with immediate effect, having been riven with bitter infighting, hatred and feuds for years, One Direction’s is rather different.

They’ll spend the next six months continuing their latest world tour, before launching a Christmas album in December then honouring all their promotional commitments throughout February.


And what a lot of money there is. Each of the five members; Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, who left earlier this year, it is believed to have earned somewhere in the region of £27million ($44million) during their five years in the band.
Of course, much has been blown on fast cars, flash watches and mansions in the Home Counties, but behind the scenes they’ve also each been spending a small fortune on something else, their families.
