Who's the wealthiest of the Fab Four's kids?

You might be surprised to discover that the four stars of The Beatles have a collective brood of 15 children.

Between them, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the late George Harrison and John Lennon fathered 10 children, adopted one, and took on the role of stepfather to four.

Click or scroll on to discover what the children of The Beatles do today and find out which one is richest in 2026.

Gianni Gregorini: $1 million

Born in 1972, Gianni Gregorini is the son of Count Augusto Gregorini Savignano di Romagna and Bond girl Barbara Bach. Bach later divorced the Italian aristocrat and married Ringo Starr in 1981.

A young Gianni is pictured on the right of this photo, which was taken shortly after Bach and Ringo Starr's wedding at London's Marylebone Town Hall.

Gianni Gregorini: $1 million

The stepson of the Beatles' drummer who, like his father, boasts the title of Count, Gianni keeps a low profile and not much is known about him. According to various online sources, he's a businessman based in Los Angeles, but more specific career details are tricky to track down.

Likewise, his net worth is something of a mystery. Several internet guesstimates peg it at $1 million, though it could very well be higher.

Arlen Blakeman: $1 million

Arlen Blakeman is the son of Paul McCartney's third wife Nancy Shevell, and her first husband, the attorney and politician Bruce Blakeman.

Born in 1991, Arlen was 19 when his mother married Sir Paul in 2011. Like Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, their nuptials took place at Marylebone Town Hall in London, and Arlen is shown here on the far left, getting ready to shower the newlyweds with confetti.

Arlen Blakeman: $1 million

Like Gianni Gregorini, Arlen shuns the limelight to a large degree but has still been photographed with his mom and stepdad at events, on vacation, and out shopping.

According to his LinkedIn profile, the law graduate has interned at Universal Music Group and currently works as an attorney in Florida. 

Again, online guesses as to his net worth are unreliable but a figure of $1 million has been bandied about. His mother has an estimated fortune of $200 million, while his father is also thought to be hugely wealthy.

Heather McCartney: $2 million

Born to Paul McCartney's first wife Linda Eastman and her first husband Joseph Melville See Jr. in 1962, Heather McCartney was legally adopted by Paul in 1969, the year he married Linda.

Heather is a renowned potter and designer. Exhibitions of her work take place all around the world, including in New York, Tokyo, Paris, and Sydney. She's also released a line of homeware products. Like her parents and siblings, she's a vegetarian and a passionate animal rights activist.

Heather McCartney: $2 million

Heather, whose mother Linda ended up leaving her entire estate to husband Paul, is worth $2 million according to several internet estimates.

Paul McCartney, on the other hand, has an estimated fortune of $1.4 billion according to The Sunday Times Rich List. McCartney is the first UK musician to reach billionaire status.

Lee Starkey: $3 million

Born in 1970, Lee Starkey (left) is Ringo Starr's third child with his first wife Maureen Cox, who he divorced in 1975. Ringo's real name is Richard Starkey. 

A successful fashion designer, Lee survived two brain tumors at the ages of 24 and 31 and went on to have triplets with Jay Mehler – the former Kasabian and Beady Eye guitarist. Lee is pictured here with her father in 1989.

Lee Starkey: $3 million

Again, trustworthy estimates of Lee's wealth are hard to come by, though several sources have suggested she's worth around $3 million.

And of course, her father is mega-rich: Ringo Starr's net worth is estimated at $350 million.

Francesca Gregorini: up to $5 million

Francesca Gregorini (pictured on the left) is the daughter of Count Augusto Gregorini Savignano di Romagna and Ringo Starr's second wife Barbara Bach.

Born in 1968, Francesca, who's styled a countess, has a much higher profile than her brother Gianni. The Italian aristocrat was engaged to Portia de Rossi for three years.

Francesca Gregorini: up to $5 million

These days, Francesca is best known for her talents behind the camera.

An accomplished screenwriter and producer, she co-wrote and directed the 2011 indie movie Tanner Hall. She also single-handedly wrote, produced, and directed 2013's The Truth About Emanuel, and has worked on hit TV shows such as the BBC's Killing Eve.

As for her wealth, online sleuths peg it at somewhere between $1 million and $5 million.

Kyoko Chan Cox: up to $5 million

John Lennon's stepdaughter Kyoko Chan Cox was born to his second wife Yoko Ono and her second husband, Anthony Cox, in 1963.

Shockingly, Yoko lost custody of her daughter when she was just eight years old, and Kyoko vanished with her father to join a cult called Church of the Living Word.

Yoko and her daughter weren't reunited until 1994 when Kyoko was 31.

Kyoko Chan Cox: up to $5 million

Kyoko leads a quiet life by all accounts and there are no recent press shots of her – this one was taken back in 2005.

She's reportedly married to a lawyer and works as a teacher. Net worth-wise, figures of between $1 million and $5 million are mentioned online.

Beatrice McCartney: up to $5 million

Beatrice 'Milly' McCartney was born in 2003 to Paul McCartney and his second wife, Heather Mills. 

Just three years later, her parents went through a headline-grabbing divorce battle that lasted until 2008, when Heather eventually walked away with a settlement of £24 million ($48m).

Beatrice McCartney: up to $5 million

The couple subsequently went to court over their daughter's trust fund. Beatrice was granted access to it when she turned 18 in 2021 and it may have appreciated markedly by that point, depending on the type of trust it was, how the investments contained within it were handled, and the amount of tax paid.

Accordingly, estimates suggest that Beatrice's wealth sits between $1 million and $5 million, though it's probably safe to assume it's closer to the latter figure.

Jason Starkey: $5 million

The second child of Ringo Starr and Maureen Cox, Jason Starkey was born in 1967.

Following a wayward youth in which he had several run-ins with the law, Jason played drums for several bands and became a road manager and photographer. He's married to designer Flora Evans Starkey and the couple have four children together. 

David M. Benett/Getty Images

Jason Starkey: $5 million

Jason's status as a Beatles kid has, in his opinion, been more of a hindrance than a help. He once observed: "Being Ringo Starr's son is the biggest drag of my life. It's a total pain."

Still, if the internet guesstimates are correct, he hasn't done too badly over the years from a financial point of view. His estimated net worth stands at $5 million.

Mary McCartney: $15 million

Mary McCartney is the first of Paul McCartney's biological children. She was born several months after he married Linda Eastman in 1969, around the time The Beatles were breaking up.

Taking after her mother, she grew up to become a renowned photographer. She fell in love with the art of taking pictures from an early age when Linda showed her the ropes.

Mary McCartney: $15 million

Mary has since photographed everyone from her famous father to Taylor Swift, and even the late Queen Elizabeth II.

She has also dabbled in filmmaking and has written a number of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks. She's even hosted her own Food Network cooking show, Mary McCartney Serves It Up.

In terms of net worth, the most credible of the many internet guesstimates is $15 million.

Zak Starkey: $20 million

The first of Ringo Starr's three kids with Maureen Cox, Zak Starkey was born in 1965. At the age of eight, he was gifted a drum kit by his godfather Keith Moon, and he hasn't looked back since.

Now one of the world's most celebrated drummers, some say he easily outshines his father in terms of talent. Zak ended up joining The Who in 1996 but was fired in 2025 over "communication issues" with the band's lead singer Roger Daltrey.

Zak Starkey: $20 million

Zak was also Oasis's third drummer and has a passion project band called Mantra of the Cosmos. Recently, he teamed up with fellow Beatles offspring Sean Ono Lennon and James McCartney on the song Rip Off, a track earmarked for the debut Mantra of the Cosmos album.

Thanks to his outstanding career, the talented musician has amassed an enviable fortune, estimated by sources at $20 million.

James McCartney: $40 million

The youngest of Paul McCartney's four children with Linda Eastman, James McCartney was born in 1977.

Like his father, James has pursued a career in music, though he didn't release his first studio album Me until 2013. By that point, he'd also collaborated with his parents and put out two EPs.

James McCartney: $40 million

James followed up his debut record with the studio albums The Blackberry Train and Beautiful Nothing, released in 2016 and 2024 respectively.

As mentioned, he collaborated with Sean Ono Lennon and Zak Starkey on an upcoming song titled Rip Off. However, this isn't the first time he's teamed up with a fellow Beatle kid – in 2024, he co-wrote the single Primrose Hill with Sean Ono Lennon.

As for his estimated net worth? It stands at an impressive $40 million.

Julian Lennon: $50 million

Julian Lennon, John Lennon's son from his first marriage to Cynthia Powell, was born in 1962.

After John left Cynthia for Yoko Ono in 1968, his relationship with Julian broke down. Julian rarely saw his father during his childhood, although the pair reconciled before John's 1980 murder.

Julian followed in the footsteps of his dad by embarking on a music career of his own.

Julian Lennon: $50 million

Julian has scored a number of hit singles over the course of his career, mainly in the 1980s and early 1990s, including an Australian number one and top 10 smashes in the US and UK charts.

He's released seven albums in total, the most recent of which came out in 2022. This music industry success has worked wonders on his bank balance, with his fortune estimated at $50 million, though he's rumored to have inherited $25 million after he contested his father's will.

Stella McCartney: $200 million

Stella McCartney is the second child of Paul and Heather and was born in 1971.

Clearly into fashion from an early age, Stella started designing clothes at the age of 12, interned for Christian Lacroix when she was 16, and studied fashion design at London's prestigious Central Saint Martins. Her 1995 graduate show featured supermodels Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Yasmin Le Bon.

In 1997, Stella became the creative director of the Parisian label Chloé. Four years later, she launched her namesake brand, which has been a phenomenal success and epitomizes her knack for creating ethical wearable-luxe designs. The fashionista has also undertaken a lucrative collaboration with Adidas. 

Needless to say, Stella's stellar career has made her very rich indeed, with sources estimating her fortune at $200 million.

Sean Ono Lennon: $200 million

Born in 1975, Sean Ono Lennon is John Lennon's only child with Yoko Ono. He inspired his father to write the song Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy), which was featured on his final album.

Sean has also followed in his father's footsteps by opting for a career in music. To date, he's released three solo albums, been a member of several bands, and worked as a record producer.

Sean Ono Lennon: $200 million

Following John's tragic death in 1980, Sean was a major beneficiary of his $200 million estate, which works out at $790 million in today's money, although Yoko received the lion's share.

As such, Sean is a very wealthy man, with an estimated net worth of $200 million.

Dhani Harrison: $300 million

Dhani Harrison, who was born in 1978, is the one and only son of George Harrison and his second wife Olivia Arias. George was previously married to model Pattie Boyd, but the couple had no children together.

Dhani, who was named after the sixth and seventh notes of the Indian music scale, started his career by assisting his dad in the recording studio.

Dhani Harrison: $300 million

Following George's death in 2001, Dhani launched his professional music career by finishing his father's last album Brainwashed, and promptly won a Grammy for one of the songs.

He went on to form the digi-rock band Thenewno2, enjoyed a successful stint as a composer, and has also released solo albums. 

The richest of all the Beatles children, Dhani was a major beneficiary of his father's multimillion-dollar estate, along with his mother. Sources calculate his fortune to be in the region of $300 million.
