How much every member of Take That is worth now

They were one of the biggest boy bands of the 1990s, spawning 12 number one hits in the UK alone.

Take That, consisting of Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange, first formed in Manchester in 1990 as an answer to the US male vocal singing group New Kids on the Block.

They burned bright until disbanding in 1996, by which time they were all millionaires. In the years since, solo careers and a Take That reunion ensured their wealth has continued to grow, with Barlow and his former nemesis Williams reaping the greatest rewards.

Let's take a look at the net worth of the five boy band stars and find out who has the greatest net worth.

Gary Barlow: Net worth $187 million

Gary Barlow is considered the first member of Take That after he caught the eye of band manager Nigel Martin-Smith, who was looking to create a male vocal singing group that would appeal to teens.

He was introduced to singer-songwriter Barlow, who was then 19.

Barlow had been performing in clubs since he was 15 and came armed with a catalogue of songs he had written.

Martin-Smith decided to build his new-look boy band around Barlow and held a series of auditions in Manchester and surrounding cities to fill the other spots.

After the band was formed, Barlow was considered the lead singer and he also wrote the majority of their songs.

It was Barlow's song Pray that scored the band their first number one hit.

After they disbanded, Barlow launched straight into a solo career and it was widely predicted he would be the most successful band member post-Take That.

His first two solo singles, Forever Love and Love Won't Wait, went to number one in the UK. His debut album, Open Road, also went to number one in the UK and sold two million copies worldwide.

In 1999, Barlow stepped away from his own singing career to become a producer for other artists, including former bandmate Mark Owen.

In 2005, he resumed his singing career after a six-year hiatus and also returned to the spotlight as part of the documentary, Take That: For the Record.

That year also marked a Take That reunion, sans Williams, for a sold-out tour and comeback single Patience, which went to number one in the UK and Europe, and was named Record of the Year and the Brit Award's single of the year.

Over the next few years, more number one songs and albums followed for Take That, many written by Barlow.

He is considered one of the UK's most successful songwriters, with 13 number-one singles, of which 10 were recorded by Take That.

He has written 24 top 10 hits and has written songs for Robbie Williams, Westlife, Lily Allen, Blue, Elton John, Shirley Bassey, Donny Osmond, Delta Goodrem and Elaine Paige, and even joined forces with Andrew Lloyd Webber to write the official song for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee and organised the Diamond Jubilee Concert.

He even co-wrote a song with old rival Williams that the two recorded, and sang a duet with Abba's Agnetha Fältskog.

He has been a judge on TV talent shows, The X Factor UK, Let It Shine and Walk the Line, and has also worked as an actor.

Robbie Williams: Net worth $450 million

Robbie Williams was 16 when he was the last, and youngest, band member chosen to join Take That.

While the older and more experienced Barlow was considered the lead singer, Williams was chosen to perform lead vocals on many of their first hits, including Could It Be Magic, I Found Heaven and Everything Changes.

However, Williams' escalating use of drugs and alcohol threatened to derail his career. He was also unhappy his musical ideas were not taken seriously by Barlow or Martin-Smith.

Concerned about an upcoming tour, Barlow, Martin-Smith and fellow band member Orange confronted Williams, who quit the band in 1995.

A legal dispute followed before he was able to launch his solo career in 1996 with a cover of the George Michael song, Freedom, which reached number two on the UK charts.

He later joined forces with songwriter and producer Guy Chambers to work on his debut album, Life thru a Lens, which was released in September 1997 and included the hit song, Old Before I Die.

But it was the fourth single off the album, Angels, that became Williams's best-selling single and launched his career in the US.

It has been streamed 565,403,688 times on Spotify and was voted the best song of the previous 25 years at the 2005 Brit Awards.

He followed this up with more hit songs and albums, including I've Been Expecting You, The Ego Has Landed, Sing When You're Winning, Swing When You're Winning, Escapology, Intensive Care, Rudebox and Reality Killed the Video Star.

Williams has performed duets with everyone from Aussies Kylie Minogue and Nicole Kidman to Pet Shop Boys and Queen.

He even reconciled with Barlow to co-write the song Shame, which was released in 2010 and rejoined Take That in 2010, even joining them to record the album Progress.

As at 2008, Williams had sold more albums in the UK than any other British solo artist in history.

He has sold about 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling solo artists of all time.

Mark Owen: Net worth $60 million

Mark Owen was an 18-year-old bank employee when he was selected to join Take That.

While he rarely led the band's vocals in the early days, he was the most popular member of the group on account of his looks, and was named Most Fanciable Male in the World.

After the band split, he became the first band member to release a solo record.

His first two singles, Child and Clementine, went to number three in the UK charts.

He was dropped by his record label the following year after his debut album reached number 33 on the charts.

He enjoyed a career resurgence when he won the 2002 season of Celebrity Big Brother.

The following year, Robbie Williams invited him to perform on stage with him at Knebworth, which reignited his solo career.

But it wasn't until Take That reformed in 2005 that he again enjoyed greater success, although he has continued to record solo projects.

HIs fifth album, Land of Dreams was released in 2022 and debuted at number five on the UK charts.

Howard Donald: Net worth $37 million

Howard Donald was one of the oldest to audition for Take That at 22.

The part-time DJ took time off work from his job as a vehicle painter to attend the auditions.

He featured less as a lead vocalist than the other members but sang lead vocals on their 1995 number one hit, Never Forget.

Donald was said to be upset by the band's decision to call it quits in 1996.

Afterwards, he attempted a solo career, recording a single, Speak Without Words, but it was not released and he went back to working as a DJ.

He struggled with his mental health after the band split, telling the 2005 documentary Take That: For the Record, he considered drowning himself in the River Thames.

Once Take That reformed, he took on a bigger role, singing lead vocals on two songs from their next album Beautiful World, and their five subsequent albums.

In 2021, Donald appeared on The Masked Dancer and finished in third place.

Jason Orange: Net worth $45 million

Before finding fame with Take That, Jason Orange was part of breakdance crew Street Machine, which won the Manchester round of the UK Breakdancing Championship, and appeared on TV show The Hit Man and Her, both as a featured dancer and a member of a duo.

After Take That split up, he acted on the crime drama series Killer Net and took a lead role in a London stage production of Gob.

Orange was part of the reformed Take That and sang lead vocals on their first album after they got back together, Beautiful World. He also co-wrote some songs on the album.

In 2014, Orange announced he was leaving Take That and retiring from the entertainment industry.

Take That continues as a three-piece act consisting of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen. They are currently on a world tour.
