Paul McCartney – $1.2 Billion

Sir Paul McCartney, one of the richest recording artists in the world, has a net worth of $1.2 billion. Nearly ½ a century after The Beatles broke up, Paul remains top of the pop game selling out ballparks and arenas at will. McCartney will probably end up making more money with the release of Let It Be – a Beatles documentary that Sir Peter Jackson will direct. The director known for his work with Hobbit and Lord of the Rings claims that the production will be surprisingly personal, uplifting, and funny. We can’t wait to watch it!
