One Direction earned a staggering £202,000 every day last year.

The British boy band, who are taking a hiatus after the release of their next album, have sold more than 45 million records and have been touring since 2011.

Their company’s public accounts show that they turned over £73,735,400 with profits of £45,308,162 just last year.

1D Media Limited is co-owned by members Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan as well as ex-member Zayn Malik.

Despite leaving the band back in March, Malik is still entitled to his 20% share from 2014.

The boys have all already invested heavily in property in the UK and the US, with Styles, 21, snapping up a £6 million LA mansion and a £3 million London house.

Horan, 22, owns a £1 million Hertfordshire property and has recently bought a £1.5 million home near the Kardashians in Los Angeles.

Band mate Payne, 22, lives in a £5.1 million mansion in Surrey, which he bought at the beginning of the year.

One Direction have just released new single Perfect, which has been co-written by Styles and Tomlinson.
