Paul McCartney Is Worth A Lot More Than You Think

Posted by Zora Stowers on Monday, April 22, 2024

Music isn't always profitable, but when it is, it can make an artist very, very rich. We're talking millions of dollars. Perhaps tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. However, in the case of Sir Paul McCartney, even that is not enough. In fact, sites like Money Inc. and Celebrity Net Worth weigh him in at no less than $1.2BN, making him an actual rock billionaire — something that probably isn't printed on his business cards, but totally should be.

It's easy to think that McCartney's fortune must come solely from his Beatles days, and whatever he's done after that has been the sort of vanity stuff anyone making Beatles money would probably feel entitled to do. However, Forbes is happy to remind us that McCartney is still an extremely alluring artist who fills venues wherever he opts to perform. In fact, in 2019, McCartney's Freshen Up solo tour had 25 dates, which pulled in an average $4 million per night. Thanks to his touring and his Egypt Station album, released in late 2018, his earnings that year were a pretty dang respectable $48 million as of October 7.
