Man, do you have any idea how much Beatles merchandise gets sold worldwide every year, not to mention residuals on albums, songwriting credits, etc.? That's why Ringo is worth $350 million.Quote

Keith was in TWO Pirates movies. I'm sure he got paid more to return for the second. I would never underestimate Keith. He might be quite canny when it comes to his wealth. Mick appears to have a much higher overhead.
Okay, what I want to know is how the hell Ringo amassed $350 Million? What's he got, one, two songwriting credits on Beatle albums? Certainly his little All Starr jaunts don't bring in a lot of dough. His solo career was more successful than the others, but that was the early 70s. The band he used to make money with hasn't toured since 1966, and doesn't appear to be regrouping soon. He had a few acting gigs, also in the 70s. He gets some mechanical royalties from Beatle albums, but $350 Million!!!!????

I agree, and these lists are known to be inaccurate, sometimes wildly so.Quote

Who knows how Forbes compiles the list? Ringo may have a high net worth from real estate or other items in the public record. Forbes may also be estimating what these people are worth based on what they would get if they sold everything, including publishing and merchandising. What they would sell for would be several times what they earn in a year.

MisterDDDDForbes has them fairly close.. likely fairly accurate.Quote

Richest musicians lists seem to put Mick ahead of Keith by a bit. Assuming they have made the same from the Stones, however, you figure...
*Keith's never been divorced and has fewer kids
*Keith's one film project (Pirates of the Caribbean) did better than anything Mick ever did (Freejack, Elysian Fields, etc.)
*Mick never cashed in on a solo career, although he probably has sold few more solo records admittedly since STB went platinum
I dunno.
Paul McCartney-Net Worth $1.2 billion.
Bono-Net Worth $600 million. ...
Jimmy Buffett-Net Worth $550 million.
Elton John-Net Worth-$480 million.
Mick Jagger-Net Worth $360 million.
Ringo Starr-Net Worth $350 million.
Bruce Springsteen-Net Worth $350 million.
Keith Richards-Net Worth $340 million.

Man, how did Bono get so much? Mick had a 20 year head start on him accumulating wealth.
Yeah, I believe so...plus they got in on the ground floor with Apple launching the iPod and all that...Quote

Doesn’t Bono have early shares in face book ?

You'd think so wouldn't you .
But it's live performance that brings the money in these days ...largely why the Stones are still on the road if you ask many folks.
But, when you have hundreds of millions already, the performance of investments probably becomes just as important as your core income in terms of how much money you're making.

Does it matter? You can't take anything with you where you go. Before death we're all the same. Of course, Sir Michael has a lot of more people to support. But I guess there is enough wealth
to support hundreds of people for generations to come. But there is also the saying "förvärva, förvalta, fördärva" (aquire, administer, ruin). I don't know if there is an English eqivalent to that?
