Rich List Claims Sir Paul McCartney Is Worth 500million Pounds

More than divorce estimate...

Sir Paul McCartney is worth £100million more than his divorce hearing suggested, according to the new Sunday Times Rich List.

In his divorce battle with his estranged wife Heather Mills last month, a high court judge ruled that McCartney was worth £400million.

However, the new Rich List, which is published in full this weekend, says that the former Beatles back-catalogue and image rights had been undervalued.

The new estimation, believed to be around £500million, could be seized on by Ms Mills, who was only awarded a £24.3million divorce settlement.

McCartney is the highest ranking musician in the new list, while Madonna is the richest female pop star, worth an estimated £300million.

  • That’s nice. Now, keep it to yourself. ’You-know-who’ might be listening.

  • The money he made from The Beatles and Wings is money that was made BEFORE mucca came along. That is by NO MEANS money that she can ever get her hands on because it was made before the years she came into his life. So just let the man alone and live in peace huh? Hasn’t he been put through enough?

  • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
