Sir Paul McCartney is now a billionaire, according to Forbes, which puts the former Beatle's fortune at roughly $1.4 billion. That makes him the world's third-richest musician, behind Jay-Z and pop star Taylor Swift. Most of his wealth comes from his own publishing company, which owns his songs and other catalogues, along with Beatles earnings, songwriting rights, world tours, homes and a valuable art collection.
