Horan enjoyed the €2.2m pay bonanza after a gruelling tour schedule in 2024 which commenced on February 20th 2024 in Belfast and concluded on October 9th last in Bogota, Colombia.

One of Ireland’s most successful entertainers, singer-songwriter, Niall Horan last year paid himself €2.2m on the back on a sell out worldwide tour.

New accounts filed by the Mullingar man’s Jaredon Ltd show that pay at the firm increased by 20pc from €1.85m to €2.23m in the 12 months to the end of March 2025.

Horan enjoyed the €2.2m pay bonanza after a gruelling tour schedule in 2024 which commenced on February 20th 2024 in Belfast and concluded on October 9th last in Bogota, Colombia.

One of the tour venues included New York City’s Madison Square Garden where the concert was filmed.

Underling how lucrative The Show tour was for the 31 year old, figures from the trade industry journal, Pollstar show that Horan generated €2.65m at the box office from three shows at the 3Arena in Dublin in 2024.

Box office receipts are shared between artist, venue, promoter and ticket seller.

At the end of the tour in Bogota last October, Horan posted on X “the past eight months have just been incredible. I’ll never be able to thank you all enough for what you’ve done for me. Every single one of you who came out to each show and made it all an unforgettable experience. Let’s do it all again sometime”.

Horan - who has amassed 39.3m followers on X and Instagram and best known for songs like Slow Hands and Nice to Meet Ya - is a regular on Irish Rich List surveys after a career that was launched after securing a place on One Direction in 2010 from his appearance on UK TV show X Factor.

In the year under review, Horan’s Slow Hands and This Town each passed 1bn streams on Spotify.

Jaredon employs three people including fellow directors and accountants to the stars, Alan McEvoy and Barry Downes from the Limerick-based Livewire Business Management, which specialises representing well known figures in the music, entertainment and sports industries.

Pay to the three totalled €2.32m and included directors' emoluments in respect of qualifying services last year totalling €30,000.
