For the first time, at the age of 81, Paul McCartney has a net worth of £1 billion.
As reported by the Times, Paul McCartney, the renowned Beatles member, and his wife Nancy currently possess a hefty net worth of £1 billion ($1.3 billion), which is an increase from their £950 million ($1.2 billion) wealth in 2023. This considerable growth is attributed to McCartney's longevity and continued popularity amongst fans regardless of generation.
Beyoncé deserves a mention as well.
In 2024, Beyoncé created waves with her hit album "Cowboy Carter," where she reworked the Beatles' 1968 song "Blackbird," authored by McCartney. She made history as the first African American woman to top the Top Country Albums, as per Billboard, and McCartney praised her rendition.
McCartney recently launched his own music, too. In November 2023, the Beatles released their latest chartbuster "Now and Then," touted as their final track. This masterpiece harmoniously utilized John Lennon's vocals from a 1977 demo, George Harrison's riffs, and Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr's contemporary inputs. "Now and Then" debuted impressively at the seventh spot on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the band's 35th entry on the Top 10 chart.
The McCartney's wealth has consistently been increasing over the past six years, per Times data. McCartney headlined England's top music festival, Glastonbury, in 2022. This was the first time since 2004 that he had done so.
Furthermore, in June, the previously unreleased album "One Hand Clapping" by McCartney's band Wings is set to see the light of day. The song was initially recorded in 1974. Despite McCartney's assertion that he doesn't care much for money, the release of this album is expected to add to his already impressive net worth.
