PAUL MCCARTNEY – $1.2 BILLION

Paul McCartney has led an exciting career in the music industry. Known as the co-founder of The Beatles, McCartney and the rest of the band were considered music icons. He is not just a singer, but he is also a songwriter for The Beatles and other musicians like Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly. Aside from his earnings while in the band, the musician is also earning copyrights for his songs sung by other artists. He even went solo after The Beatles disbanded, which helped him add more to his impressive net worth of $1.2 billion.

To his credit, McCartney has been using his celebrity status and money to fund causes close to his heart. Among the charities that he continues to support are the OneVoice Movement, Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, and PETA, just to name a few. He has also bought several real estates in the United States and the United Kingdom.
