One Direction's Niall Horan is being encouraged to spend some of his new multi-mullion fortune by his bandmate Harry Styles.

Irish-born Niall has yet to splash any of his heard earned cash on a house, car or even a driving lesson.

The group certainly have enviable bank accounts, recently joining an under-30s rich list thanks to their £26m fortune.

The quintet reached the number five spot in a weekly magazine's annual Rich List when their combined worth of £26.33 million knocked Harry Potter star Rupert Grint down to seventh place.

But a source has said that Niall's 18-year-old bandmate Harry, who was recently reported to have forked out £3 million on a plush London home, is trying to encourage his pal to invest in property.

An insider said that 19-year-old Niall "isn't one to go around flashing his cash about. It's just not his style."

Adding that "he is mostly content playing his guitar and video games while having a laugh with the boys.

"But Harry is trying to get him to buy some properties and invest his millions. Niall doesn't own a house or a car. He gets about on a push bike."
