Legendary Beatles member Ringo Starr who is also known as a British musician, drummer, singer-songwriter, and actor has an estimated net worth of $350 million.
Before Starr became a part of the famous four-piece band from Liverpool, he started his musical journey by joining several bands such as Eddie Clayton and the Clayton Squares, and Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. After leaving the Hurricanes, John Lennon asked him to be part of the Beatles in 1962.
With the success of the Beatles, songs such as Yellow Submarine, Love Me Do, A Hard Day's Night, and Let It Be spawned. After Lennon quitted the band, Starr released two albums in 1970. At the same time, he played drums in John Lennon and George Harrison's solo albums.
In 1989, he formed Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band and has been touring with the band until the present. He was inducted into the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame in 2002. The former Beatles drummer has benefited from the 2009 relaunch of the Fab Four's back catalogue. In 2009-10, his Startling Music company in London made a £3m profit on £3.3m of sales.
Born Richard Starkey on July 7, 1940, in Dingle, Liverpool. England. He has three children namely Zak, Lee and Jason from his previous marriage with Maureen Cox, who died from leukemia in 1994. He is married to actress Barbara Bach.
