X Factor judges 2018: Louis Tomlinson – what is the One Direction star’s net worth?

X Factor kicks off tomorrow night on ITV at 8pm and fans of the show will notice a new line-up of judges.

Having auditioned on the show in the past, Louis will join Simon Cowell, Robbie Williams, Ayda Field in the quest to find the next big singing sensation.

Known as a member of world-renowned boy band One Direction Louis has paved his way to a hugely successfully music career of his own.

One Direction announced a hiatus in January 2016, but what is the musician’s net worth?

Louis Tomlinson’s net worth is reportedly an estimated $70m (£54m), according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The 26-year-old’s road to success began as an actor in ITV film drama If I Had You, as well as BBC drama Waterloo Road.

The band came third in that year’s X Factor competition, but six years on, they released five albums, embarked on a number of sell-out world tours, and became one of the most successful musical groups of all time.

After One Direction announced their hiatus, Louis worked on launching his solo career.

In December 2016, he released his debut single ‘Just Hold On’ which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart.

Alongside his various achievement, Louis celebrated the birth of his son Freddie Reign in January 2016.

In July 2015 it was reported he was expecting a baby with 23-year-old former stylist Briana Jungwirth.
