Go figure....

Anyway RR, are you certain about Wings being the most successful 70's rock band in terms of record sales? I would have thought that distinction belonged to Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd or The Eagles?

Also if Paul is a billionaire or close to it based on his partial ownership of Beatles publishing, catalog, royalties etc, does anyone know if Yoko Ono is also as wealthy based on her inheritance of John's interests? Or does Paul's wealth arise from stuff he did post-Beatles?


Lilo, I would guess McCartney is worth more than Yoko. Likely, John's two kids got a large portion of his estate (although Yoko is not hurting, I'm sure). Paul, although giving so much to Heather in his divorce, still I'm thinking is worth quite a bit more. I wanna even say in the billions???? They mentioned his approximate worth during his divorce but I can't count that high. lol
