Maybe it's changed, but a DAILY MAIL story in 2006 said: "The Rolling Stones have paid just 1.6 per cent tax on their earnings of £242million over the past 20 years, it has emerged. Documents published in Holland show that Sir Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards used offshore trusts and companies to ensure tax breaks."
"Under Dutch law, certain information must be made public - allowing details of their extraordinary tax break to emerge."

Same Dailymail story includes:
Watts is said to be worth £ 80million, and as main songwriters, Richards is worth £185million while Sir Mick's fortune is as much as £205million.

I know I'm being a small person, but if I were mick I'd be pissed that after all these years of being the 'bidness guy' I only had accumulated 10% more than the junkie.

You know that ol' expression about a chain only being as strong as its weakest link,..? He too proved himself to be a weak link when setting on his own,...OTOH, maybe he negotiated for himself and brought a lot of, as they say, his own luggage with him.
Neither on their own are remarkable. Together, they do make magic.

You know, for all the pettiness and miserliness I've heard Mick being accused of through the years, I do believe there is a certain amount of largesse he probably does show to close friends and family...so yeah, I'd wager he'd have made sure everyone was taken care of in the band.
Maybe I'm giving him too much credit though.
