One Direction have earned a staggering $160million in just over the two years since they shot to fame on the original UK The X-Factor.

Niall, Liam, Harry, Zayn and Louis have killed it stateside and shifted three million copies of their debut album Up All Night.

But the buck didn’t stop there.

Other merchandise such as dolls all add to the insane personal profits, but it’s Simon Cowell’s company Syco and Sony that really scooped glory, cashing in much more.

With a new multi-million dollar deal with Pepsi in the bag and a world tour to come, 2013 is predicted to be even more lucrative for them, and of course, the boss.
