Paul McCartney – $1.2 billion

Greatest Hits: Yesterday

In terms of fame, Paul McCartney is the only name worthy of comparison with John Lennon, and it makes sense that he was a co-founder of the Beatles. He had over 2,200 song-covering performers, especially for yesterday’s song. He was acknowledged twice – first as a member of The Beatles and then as a solo artist. He received 18 Grammys, and he and his fellow members of the Beatles were named MOBs in 1965. He was knighted for his contributions to music in 1997.
