The Beatles Earnings

Year	Earnings

Between 1995 and 2000, despite not having released a single record in over two decades, The Beatles were among the highest-paid music groups in the world. So how did they manage to pull this off? The answer: The Beatles Anthology. In 1995, the three surviving members of The Beatles (Paul, George, and Ringo) agreed to release a three-volume album series featuring the band’s best hits, along with a 10-hour documentary and a hardcover book.

The group’s holding company, Apple Corp, owned 100% of the master recordings, allowing the band members to retain the lion’s share of any revenue generated from The Beatles Anthology. Volume 1 was released in September 1995 and sold 8 million copies in the United States within its first year. In March 1996, Volume 2 was released and sold 3 million copies by the end of the year. Volume 3 also sold 3 million copies in its first five months. To date, all three volumes of The Beatles Anthology have sold a combined 23 million copies worldwide.

As a result, the band earned an estimated $130 million in 1995, followed by earnings of $98 million in 1997 and $70 million in 2000. The best part? They didn’t perform a single tour during this period. Almost all the money they earned came from the success of the Anthology and Apple Corp’s ability to retain the bulk of the revenue.

Since we only have estimates on file for 1995, 1997, and 2000, The Beatles likely earned much, much more than $298 million during the six-year period. Assuming an equal split among the three members and John Lennon’s estate, each member, including Ringo, would have earned roughly $74.5 million.

Real Estate

In May 1991, Ringo Starr and his wife, Barbara Bach, paid $3.2 million for a 5,515-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Beverly Hills, California. At the time of writing, the 1-acre property is valued at $12.8 million.

Garage Sale

In December 2015, Ringo Starr auctioned over 1,300 personal items through Julien’s Auctions, raising $9.2 million with standout sales, including his first Ludwig drum kit, used on Beatles classics like Can’t Buy Me Love and I Want to Hold Your Hand, which sold for $2.1 million.

Other highlights included Starr’s copy of The White Album, numbered 0000001, which fetched $790,000 as the most expensive vinyl ever sold, and a Rickenbacker guitar gifted by John Lennon that brought in $910,000.

Other significant items included a Patek Philippe Moonphase watch, which sold for $179,200, and several gold rings worn during Beatles performances, which fetched $100,000 each. Starr’s decision to part with these items helped to raise funds for the Lotus Foundation, the charity he and his wife, Barbara Bach, started. The Foundation supports causes such as substance abuse recovery, cancer research, and domestic violence prevention.

Starr shared that many of these items had been stored for decades, describing the auction as an opportunity to give them new homes while highlighting his importance in music history and reflecting his dedication to philanthropy.
