In 2021, Liam Payne, former member of mega boy band One Direction, made headlines with the sale of his haunted Monte Nido mansion for $A13.1m ($US10.161m).

The transaction barely turned a profit over five years after he purchased the property for $US10m in 2015 – Payne said at the time his then partner Cheryl Cole had paranormal experiences in the residence.
