Liam Payne’s 9-year-old son has inherited the late singer’s fortune
Bear Grey Payne, the only child of Payne and British singer and former “X-Factor” judge Cheryl Cole, has been named the sole beneficiary of the former One Direction star’s estate, according to court documents reviewed by People.
Bear now has more than $29 million to his name. According to the filing, a portion of the inheritance can be accessed now, but the majority will be held in a trust for another nine years, until Bear turns 18.
During a 2019 appearance on “The Jonathan Ross Show,” Payne opened up about fatherhood and spending time with Bear after the singer and Cole had called it quits.
Payne, who was one-fifth of the global boy-band sensation One Direction, d!ed Oct. 16, 2024, after falling from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Officials determined the 31-year-old singer d!ed from multiple traumas caused by the fall.
He had traces of alcohol, several narcotics and a prescription antidepressant in his system when d!ed, according to officials.
