After he parted from One Direction, Zayn Malik's net worth has been questionable but one person who always had his back continues to push Malik in his solo career.
The question for this year is, how much is Zayn Malik worth? Sources indicated that his net worth is $215 million with an annual salary of $75 million.
The British Singer's profile has soared since he left One Direction but his worth does not solely rely on singing and performing. He also has made stock investments, has invested in properties, endorsement deals with companies, owns his own restaurant, and launched his own perfume and clothing line.
Fans have been waiting for Malik to soar high since he went solo but one man has always been responsible for his success - Simon Cowell.
Simon Cowell has always had the best interests of One Direction and that also includes Zayn Malik's decision to leave One Direction and start a solo career.
Last year, Malik thanked Cowell for helping him launch his solo career with RCA Records. When he left, he tweeted out the announcement to fans:
""I guess I never explained why I left. It was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who I really am! #realmusic #RCA!!"
Cowell had always been supportive of Malik and believes Malik is a perfect fit for the record label. Without Simon Cowell, One Direction would not have been possible since his discovery of the band on The X Factor in 2010. When Malik decided to quit 1D, Cowell dropped him from Syco Records but helped him negotiate with RCA.
After dropping his recent single Pillowtalk, his net worth starting 2016 may continue to soar as the single has already topped charts as the number one hit in over sixty countries. Pillow talk is the first single off his upcoming album "Mind of Mine".
