One Direction tops this year’s list of Europe’s highest paid celebrities, despite having spent it on hiatus.
As a group, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan brought in $110 million over the past 12 months, Forbes reports. This income comes from the tail-end of their $200 million-plus On The Road Again tour and endorsement deals with Pepsi and Colgate. All of this made 1D the top-earning band in the world and the second highest among all celebrities, trailing Taylor Swift‘s $170 million.
Overall, musicians dominated the list, taking six of the top 10 spots.
