One Direction is money! The UK boy band has topped Heat magazine's annual list of the richest British celebs under the age of thirty.
Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson raked in $95.7 million in income over the past year, besting No. 2 placeholder Daniel Radcliffe, who brought in $91 million thanks largely to the royalties the actor continues to earn from the big-screen adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
In No. 3 is Twilight star Robert Pattinson, who brought in $71 million thanks to continued residuals from the popular vampire/werewolf/romance series. Meanwhile, Keira Knightley was the highest-ranked female, earning $62 million which slots her at No. 4. The 28-year-old actress earned most of her money from last year's critically-acclaimed films Anna Karenina, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and her agreement to join the forthcoming blockbuster Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.
Rounding out the top five was Emma Watson, who brought in $45 million in income over the last year. She is followed by Adele ($44 million), Rupert Grint ($38 million), Cheryl Cole ($25 million), and Emily Blunt ($18.3 million).
