The Beatles legend Paul McCartney recorded his net assets after being the first British musician to reach billionaire status last year. The Sunday Times Rich List published on Friday announced that the fortune of the 82-year-old Paul from 1 billion GBP in 2024 to £ 1.025 in 2025, as reported by men

McCartney, who recently granted US President Donald Trump with a barb with three words, saw that his assets in 2024, thanks to his “Got Back” tour, which was completed in December with appearances in Manchester and London. In addition, in 2024 he received a significant financial boost from Beyoncé's cover of 'Blackbird', a song that he wrote about the US citizenship movement in 1968.

Beyonce was renamed as “Blackbiird” and contained the track in her album “Cowboy Carter” with the Grammy price-crowned album, which Ireland consistently gave several allusions. The song made up for 27th place on the Billboard 100 and exposed 14 million official streams and 7,000 downloads in the first week.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Paul originally composed the song as a tribute to the Little Rock Nine, a group of students who registered on the purely white Little Rock High School in 1957.

This incident served as a test case for a decision by the Supreme Court, in which the segregation in schools was declared unconstitutional. The governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, used the National Guard to prevent the students from entering school.

However, when federal troops were subsequently brought in to accompany them, the aspiring civil rights movement received nine heroes.

When Paul spoke about the depth behind 'Blackbird', he announced during an interview by KCRW in California from 2002: “I was in Scotland and played on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea that they had only been waiting for the fight of black people in the southern states, and I used the symbolism of a blackbird.

“It's not really about an blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it's a bit more symbolic.”

In his memoirs 'in many years', written with Barry Miles, Paul explained the meaning of the song and said: “I had a black woman and not a black woman as a bird.

“These were the days of the civil rights movement, which looked at all of us passionately, so this was really a song from me to a black woman and experienced these problems in the States: 'Let me encourage me to keep trying to keep your faith, there is hope.

“As it is so often in my things, there was a veil instead of saying 'black woman who lives in Little Rock' and is very specific, she became a bird, symbolic so that you could apply it to your special problem.”

In December the fans were thrilled when Paul hidden in the O2 -Arena, where none other than the old colleague Ringo Starr. The legendary drummer cried the crowd on the show of December 19: “I had a great night tonight, it was a great show.”

Ringo Starr and McCartney shared a reunification several times after the beat, including while McCartney's frescoes-up tour in 2019 and Ringos Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame Induction in 2015. Paul recently completed his Got Back Tour, which started last October. On the tour he rocked internationally in cities from Paris to Sao Paulo, and he played two nights in Manchester's co-op live and London's famous The O2 Arena.
