Nine-year-old Bear Grey Payne is now the only beneficiary of the late singer's nearly $28 million estate. Most of the money will be held in a trust until he turns 18, as Liam Payne died in October 2024 without a will. His ex-partner Cheryl Cole and a music lawyer were named administrators of the estate, while five people were charged in connection to Payne's death; two hotel employees faced accusations of supplying drugs.
