Anyone notice he wasn't this rich when it came to deciding his divorce settlement?
PS To answer the OPs question - yes, in a word. He's been at the top of the music industry for 50 years.
Yes ... the mad bitch did bleat on about that... but why would she be entitled to anything more than what she got. She hardly helped him earn his millions
Someone was moaning that he's not worth it but I say he's a true living legend, wrote all those classics and is worth every penny!
He's also a living legend that might be able to squeak by on, let's say, the odd hundred million. If he did that, he could donate the rest to Cancer Research, and instead of going down as an ageing plonker who wrote the Frog Chorus, he could be the man who killed cancer. No contest, eh?
McCartney would be worth even more today, but back in the 1960s he was paying 19 shillings of every 20 shillings in a pound to Harold Wilson's socialist government. That was in the days before Maggie Thatcher of course.

How do you know he doesn't give lots of money away anyway?
You have to remember he's worth that amount, but its not all in liquid assets.

And good on him, unlike the Rolling Stones who buggered off to France.
when mccartney is mentioned its never that long before some clever dick comes up with the usual 'frog chorus' line.
however its worth pointing out especially in this topic/debate that 'we all stand together'[the frog chorus] went on to become the biggest selling childrens VHS of all time in the 1980s.!...the last laugh [as usual] is with mccartney!....[see 'mull of kyntre' for a similar tale]

he's worth £520m but whatever, he's put in the effort and is reaping the rewards.
I'd have thought he'd be worth more when you consider second raters like Prince are worth £120m and Madonna £420m
Bill Gates is OK for a few quid, about £39,650 MILLION

Because he's spent a lot of it on lawyers and ex wives.

He is 100 times richer than One Direction, that is just appropriate since he is 100 times better than One Direction.
Only 100 times better? You're doing the man a disservice!
I really like this clip from Dave Grohl's Sound City film with McCartney and the Nirvana lads laying down Cut Me Some Slack in the studio.

Love the bit towards the end where Grohl says 'Why can't it always be this easy?' and McCartney simply replies, 'It is.' How cool is that?

For me he is to John Lennon what Ronnie Corbett is to Ronnie Barker.
