Paul McCartney tops Parade’s November 26, 2025 ranking of the Beatles by reported net worth, at an estimated $1.2 billion. The list then places John Lennon’s estate at $800 million, George Harrison’s estate at $400 million and Ringo Starr at $350 million. These are third-party estimates—not audited or personally disclosed figures—and the list combines living musicians with estates.

Parade’s ranking does not establish that all four amounts were calculated using the same method or valuation date. Treat the order as that publication’s ranking, not a like-for-like accounting comparison.
Why the figures are not directly comparable
Two entries refer to estates: Lennon’s and Harrison’s. They are not statements of what either musician personally owns today. The other two entries are estimates for living musicians. The figures come from different third-party sources, and the available reporting does not give a shared methodology that would show which assets or liabilities each estimate includes.

A separate comparison underscores the importance of identifying who is being valued. The Associated Press reported that the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List put McCartney and his wife, Nancy Shevell, at a combined £1 billion, with £50 million attributed to Shevell. That is a dated couple-level estimate in pounds, not a direct confirmation of Parade’s $1.2 billion estimate for McCartney alone. AP reported that the Rich List linked the couple’s increase to McCartney’s 2023 Got Back tour, the rising value of his back catalogue and Beyoncé’s cover of “Blackbird.” Read the AP report on the 2024 Rich List.

By Parade’s November 2025 estimates, Paul McCartney is listed as the richest Beatle. The figure attached to him is $1.2 billion, but it should be described as Parade’s reported estimate rather than a verified personal balance sheet. The separate 2024 Rich List figure includes Shevell and uses a different currency and basis.
