Paul McCartney | Musician | $1.2 Billion

He might be most famous and well-known for being part of The Beatles, but Sir Paul McCartney managed quite fine on his own as well. The musician is among the most successful artists in pop music history and he’s got the net worth to match. Back when he was still touring actively, McCartney could easily pocket $50 million from it alone. However, having a partnership with John Lennon in songwriting contributes to his $1.2 billion net worth. McCartney and Lennon remain the most successful partnership in the music industry.

Among his most lucrative and productive investments? A very valuable portfolio of publishing copyrights from other great musicians and successful artists, which he owns through MPL Communications. McCartney also has a number of real estate holdings around the world, all of which are reportedly valued at $100 million. As of now, he is one of the wealthiest musicians in the world.
