- Liam Payne, a former One Direction member, died at 31 after falling from a balcony.
- Media reports suggest he left a fortune of \$28 million after his death.
- Payne's family laid him to rest a month later in November.
Media reports revealed that the former band member left behind a staggering \$28 million after his death. However, settling the late singer's bills and debts reduced the amount to approximately \$24 million.
Court documents state that Liam Payne’s multi-million-dollar estate will go to his ex, Cheryl Cole, who is also the mother of their son, Bear.
Cheryl will receive the multi-million-dollar fortune in trust, with the expectation that the money will be used for Payne’s son. Under U.K. law, the inheritance must go to a close blood relative of the deceased.
This means Kate Cassidy will receive nothing, despite revealing she would have married the “Strip That Down” singer if he were still alive. Meanwhile, the decision to hand over Liam’s wealth to his ex-girlfriend came six months after his tragic death in October 2024. His family laid him to rest a month later in November, with all of his One Direction bandmates attending the funeral.
Moreover, Payne’s girlfriend, Cassidy, shared the heartbreaking details of her final conversation with the late musician shortly before he passed away.
While speaking to Jay Shetty on his podcast, Kate revealed, "On the last day in Argentina, my car was in the driveway, and we went back into the guest house, grabbed my suitcase and we were sitting on the couch and I just kept going on and on and on about how much I love him and how much he means to me." Liam Payne passed away on October 16, 2024.
