McCartney Times

News just in, rich people are rich. Among musicians, Paul McCartney remains the richest, while Adele is now the richest female musician from the UK to ever live. Macca and his wife Nancy Shevell have added £30 million to their now £760 million fortune in the last year, while Adele has almost doubled hers to £85 million, according to the incoming new Sunday Times Rich List.Andrew Lloyd-Webber is still number two on the musical rich list with £715 million, and he gets there without cheating by pairing up with a spouse or bandmates. If it weren’t for Shevell’s £150 million stake in her father’s business, Lloyd-Webber would be right out in front. Other dirty cheats in the top ten are U2, who all together take the number three spot by claiming to be one entity, and George Harrison’s widow Olivia and son Dhani Harrison, only one of whom is actually a musician. You people are the worst. Other non-musicians in the list include Duncan Jones and Iman Abdulmajid, who come in at 29 with their own combined wealth and that which they recently inherited from David Bowie.
