Paul McCartney Ranks Among the World's Wealthiest Musicians
The fortune of former The Beatles member Paul McCartney has reached $1.4 billion. According to Forbes, he holds third place among the wealthiest musicians, trailing only Jay-Z ($2.8 billion) and Taylor Swift ($2 billion).
A significant portion of McCartney's capital consists of music copyrights. His company, MPL Communications, founded in 1969, manages catalogs of the musician himself and other artists, including Buddy Holly. Revenue also comes from rights to Broadway musicals and Christmas songs.
Additionally, McCartney receives a quarter of the income from Apple Corps, a company tied to The Beatles' legacy. Further profits are generated by royalties, tours, real estate, and an art collection that includes works by Picasso and Magritte.
In May 2026, the musician released a solo album, *The Boys of Dungeon Lane*, and continues his creative work.
