What is Mick Jagger's net worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth , the veteran artist is worth $500 million.
His wealth can be attributed to being the lead vocalist of the The Rolling Stones. They've sold more than 200 million records worldwide. In 2018 after 14 shows, the rock band earned $117 million. The Rolling Stones has been around since their 1962 creation in England.
In 2023, when he asked about selling their legendary catalogue which includes albums like Sticky Fingers (1971) and It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (1974). Many artists have sold their catalogue (some or all) for a hefty sum like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry and even some of Mick's peers such as Stevie Nicks and Bob Dylan. But the English native responded that he wouldn't sell their catalogue and he nor his children needed the money that would come out of it.
"The children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on," Mick told The Wall Street Journal . The rock star has eight children, ranging in age from the oldest being 53 to the youngest at seven: Karis, Jade, Elizabeth, James, Georgia May, Lucas, Gabriel and Deveraux.
He did say that if the catalogue was sold, the money would go to charity: "You maybe do some good in the world."
In the interview, he also explained why he decided to manage the band's business affairs despite not being fond of it.
"I don’t actually really like business, you know what I mean?," he said. "Some people just love it. I just have to do it… Because if you don’t do it, you get f-----."
Why Mick Jagger got booed in Canada
Mick Jagger was booed for cheering on Canada's Prime Minister.
"We love your Mr. Trudeau," The 80-year-old said which caused a booming array of boos to fill BC Place. The jeering from the audience in the stadium was so loud it muffled Mick's following words.
Mick could then be heard adding "I mean, his family’s always been such big fans of our band." Many felt that alluded to an age-old rumor that the Wild Horses singer slept with the Prime Minister mother Margaret Trudeau. She partied with the band in 1978.
Mick quickly pivoted the conversation to football afterwards, congratulating the Canadian team for making it to the semifinals of the Copa America.
