Liam Payne’s 9-Year-Old Son Named Sole Beneficiary of Singer’s $29M Estate

Court documents say Bear Grey Payne will receive most of the singer’s $29 million estate in trust until he turns 18.

  • Liam Payne's nine-year-old son, Bear Grey Payne, has been named the sole beneficiary of the former One Direction star's estate, valued at approximately $29 million, according to court documents reviewed by People.
  • Payne died intestate on October 16, 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, prompting singer Cheryl and attorney Richard Mark Bray to be appointed administrators of the estate earlier this year.
  • While Bear can access a portion of the inheritance immediately, the majority of the funds will remain in a trust until he turns 18, ensuring long-term financial security for Payne's only child.
  • According to the BBC, administrators Cheryl and Bray are responsible for managing the estate but currently have limited authority and cannot yet distribute the assets, the BBC reported.
  • During a 2019 appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Payne spoke fondly of fatherhood, recalling how he wore a Batman costume to make his then-2-year-old son laugh at home.
