BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA: Following Liam Payne’s tragic death after a balcony fall in Buenos Aires on October 16, new details have emerged about the singer's incredible $70 million net worth and the promises he made regarding his fortune, as reported by Radar Online.

The 30-year-old One Direction alum, who amassed his wealth through years of global success with the band and his solo career, left a lasting legacy for his 7-year-old son, Bear.

Liam Payne's heartfelt promise to his son comes to light 

During a 2022 interview, Liam Payne remarked, "My life now is his, my money is his. I have actually got several companies that are up and running that I know he can run one day if he wants to or (he can sell them)."

Payne was known for his generosity, often giving away significant portions of his wealth to those in need. In one instance, he spent £10,000 in a single night on various GoFundMe campaigns to support others.

A close friend of Payne’s shared, "Liam had all this money and, yes, he had fancy things in life, but he also had a burning desire to use his money to do good." The friend went on to compare Payne’s charitable acts to those of his idol, George Michael, another musician known for his philanthropy.

"Even in the weeks leading up to his death and when he was battling his own demons he was helping others. He was really passionate about being a good person, especially when it came to children. He was like one of his idols George Michael in that respect."

Payne reportedly spent £770 on medical bills for a young girl injured in a school shooting, stating that, as a father, he couldn’t ignore her plight. 

"As a father, it hits me differently. I have been spending the last few nights trying to finish off the donations so they can get the operations they need. They would be free in my country. I can’t not look at a sick child and not see Bear. I’m not asking for people to say well done or I’m amazing," Payne said at the time.

He emphasized that his motivation wasn’t for praise, but to ensure the child received the care she needed.
