Zayn Malik Net Worth $23 Million
To begin with, Zayn Malik grew up in East Bowling, Bradford. Malik was raised in a Muslim household as his father is British-Pakistani, and his mother converted to Islam prior their marriage. He studied at Lower Fields Primary School, and later, at Tong High School. He was interested in performing arts and was seen in various productions at school. In 2010, Zayn auditioned for the reality competition show “The X Factor” (2010) as a solo act, and passed the first round although later was eliminated from the show. However, judges Simon Cowel and Nicole Scherzinger gave him a second chance to continue participation in the form of a boy band together with Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Harry Styles. Zayn accepted the offer which later became a financially profitable career. The band was named One Direction and managed to reach the finals of the show, and ended up in third place. Afterwards, the band signed to Syco Records, and since then they have released 4 studio albums, two EPs, 14 singles, a video album and 14 music videos. All four studio albums, “Up All Night” (2011), “Take Me Home” (2012), “Midnight Memories” (2013) and “Four” (2014), topped the music charts not only in UK, but in many countries all over the world. More, all the albums were certified multi-platinum in the UK, USA and other countries.
It has been estimated that the band has sold more than 50 million records all over the world which undoubtedly added sums to the total size of Zayn Malik net worth. In addition to the number of awards received being a member of a boy band, Zayn Malik has won 4Music Video Honours Award in the category the Cutest Celeb Couple with Perrie Edwards, as well as The Asian Award for an Outstanding Contribution to Music.
After several discussions with producer Naughty Boy, Malik decided to leave the band and concentrate on his solo career. Since 2015, he is signed to RCA Records as a solo artist. Obviously the anticipation is that a solo career will be more successful than the one landed in the One Direction band. Time will tell.
Finally, in the personal life of the singer, Malik was dating the singer Rebecca Ferguson despite the fact that she is six years older. Later, he was in a relationship with another singer Perrie Edwards; the two became engaged in 2013, however, it has been announced that the couple split up in 2015. Currently, Zayn Malik is single.
