Niall Horan has everything any person can just dream about – he is popular, girls all over the world have a crash on him and in addition he is extremely rich! Of course, the singer’s success is the result of his hard work and incredible talent. But the role of his father in boy’s sudden stardom is also very important.

Bobby was born in Mullingar, Ireland. During many years he earned his living as a butcher in Tesco, a local store. He married Maura Gallagher in his young years and gave a birth to two sons. When our today hero turned 5, Bobby left the family. But he stayed in close connection with his sons. Niall and his older brother Greg resided with their mom, but they spent a lot of time in their father’s home. Finally, they settled there permanently.

Now Niall is a celebrity with multi-million earnings. He wanted to buy a house for his father, but Bobby refused. “I don’t want my son to spend his money on me, because I am satisfied with the things I have. The only thing that I can accept from him is a bike. I don’t need a car, because I don’t drive it!” the man told in his interview.
