As if  One Direction are not attractive enough, the boys have made it onto the under-30s British rich list for the first time.

Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik as a group are listed at number five in Heat magazine’s annual rich list.

The boys have amassed a fortune of £26.33m, displacing Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint who has dropped to seventh place. Fellow Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe still tops the list with £53.33m.

The list – based on estimates of their financial dealings – sees British Twilight actor Robert Pattinson move up to number two with £38.73 million, pushing Keira Knightley into third spot with £32.7 million.

Emma Watson is just below with £26.53m, earning her fourth spot for the second year running.

Girls Aloud are the highest earning group, with a combined fortune of £35.16m, but the five girls have been listed individually because they have all been working on their separate careers in recent years.

Cheryl Cole is the only Girls Aloud member to reach the top 10. She is ninth in the list with £13.4m.
