The British singer Harry Styles, originally from Redditch, came to fame after appearing on the television show The X Factor in 2010. He auditioned for The X Factor as a solo contestant in Manchester and was placed into the boy band One Direction whilst on the show. He remained with One Direction until 2015, when he started a solo career which has seen huge success.
Raised in Cheshire, his first job was delivering newspapers for Co-op as a teenager. Styles has come a long way since then; as of 2022, he has an estimated net worth of $80 million, or £60 million (according to Capital FM).
One Direction won a lot of awards, but throughout his solo career alone, Styles has scooped up 42 awards from 119 nominations from 30+ music award shows. Styles also made his first appearance as an actor in Nolan’s 2017 war movie Dunkirk, and is continuing this pursuit in Olivia Wilde's upcoming thriller Don't Worry Darling. Since going solo, Harry Styles has become a household name due to his catchy music, his eccentric dress sense, and his charming disposition.

He is also known for his generous contributions to charity. Styles has given donations to numerous non-profits including DROP4DROP, which strives to provide access to clean water, and The Chile Fund Against Hunger.
His famous phrase ‘Treat people with kindness’ is a valuable message for young music-lovers, and Harry Styles’ influence has also spread into the world of fashion, where he has gained icon-status as a result of his gender-fluid style.
His current girlfriend is Olivia Wilde, but he has had a variety of famous girlfriends before this including Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is even rumoured to have penned her tracks ‘Out of the Woods’ and ‘Style’ about him.
In Dazed Magazine, Harry Styles opened up about his transformation from performer to entrepreneur, as he launched his beauty range 'Pleasing' last year.
