Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Paul McCartney has built a $1.4 billion fortune, ranking him as the world's third-richest musician, according to the article. The Beatles legend generated his wealth through music publishing rights investments, royalty income and global tours after earning little from the band's early songwriting. He built a music empire through his company MPL Communications, which controls the rights to thousands of works. The scale of his catalog holdings underscores how publishing ownership, rather than recording or touring alone, has become the dominant driver of long-term wealth in the music industry.
