Paul McCartney reached the realm of billionaire status Monday after Forbes valued his net worth at a colossal $1.4 billion – making him the world’s third-richest musician.

McCartney’s wealth ranks behind his friend Taylor Swift ($2 billion), with whom he performed The Beatles’ first US number 1 “I Want To Hold Your Hand” during the pop performer’s star-studded wedding to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Gardens in July.
