You might be surprised to discover that the four stars of iconic British rock band 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.
Read on to meet The Beatles' kids today, from Stella McCartney to Julian Lennon, and to find out which one is the richest in 2024. All dollar amounts in US dollars.
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 the wedding at London's Marylebone Town Hall.
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, with more specific career details tricky to track down.
Likewise, his net worth is something of a mystery. Several internet guesstimates peg it at $1 million (£790k), though it could very well be significantly higher. His mother, for instance, has an estimated fortune of $20 million (£16m).
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 his stepfather 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.
Like Gianni Gregorini, Arlen shuns the limelight to a large degree but has still been photographed with his mum and stepdad at events, on holiday, and out shopping.
According to his LinkedIn profile, the law graduate has interned at Universal Music Group and currently works as an associate attorney at a Florida-based law firm.
Again, online guesses as to his net worth are unreliable but a figure of $1 million (£790k) has been bandied about. His mother has an estimated fortune of $200 million (£158m), while his father is also thought to be hugely wealthy.
Born in 1970, Lee Starkey (left) is Ringo Starr's third child with his first wife Maureen Cox, whom he divorced in 1975. Ringo's real name is Richard Starkey.
A successful fashion designer, Lee survived two brain tumours at the ages of 24 and 31, and went on to have triplets with Jay Mehler – the former Kasabian and Beady Eye guitarist, and current session and touring musician for Liam Gallagher. Lee is pictured here with her father in 1989.
Again, trustworthy estimates of Lee's wealth are hard to come by, though several sources have suggested she's worth around $3 million (£2.4m), which sounds fairly reasonable given her career trajectory.
And of course, her father is mega-rich: Ringo Starr's net worth is estimated at $350 million (£276m).
Francesca Gregorini 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.
For instance, the Italian aristocrat was engaged to Portia de Rossi for three years before the actress later shacked up with Ellen DeGeneres in 2005.
These days, however, 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 (£790k) and $5 million (£3.9m).
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 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 (£790k) and $5 million (£3.9m) are mentioned online, though according to a Daily Mail article from 2001, she could be set to inherit half her mother's fortune, which stands at around $700 million (£552m).
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 $30 million (£24m) – considerably less than the $153 million (£121m) she'd fought for.
The couple subsequently went to court over their daughter's trust fund, which US media estimated was worth $2 million (£1.6m).
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, how investments contained within it were handled, the amount of tax paid, and so on.
Accordingly estimates suggest that Beatrice's wealth sits between $1 million (£790k) and $5 million (£3.9m), though it's probably safe to assume that it's closer to the latter figure.
The second child of Ringo Starr and Maureen Cox, Jason Starkey was born in 1967.
Following a wayward youth that saw him have several run-ins with the law, Jason played drums for a number of bands and became a road manager and photographer. He's married to designer Flora Evans Starkey and the couple have four children together.
Jason's status as a Beatles kid has, in his opinion, been more 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, with his net worth sitting at around $5 million (£3.9m).
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 her mother.
Heather went on to forge a career as a potter and launched an eponymous homeware collection in 1999. Like her parents and siblings, she's a vegetarian and a passionate animal rights activist.
Heather, whose mother Linda ended up leaving her entire estate to husband Paul, is worth $5 million (£3.9m) according to several internet estimates – and guesses aside, her company accounts showed a balance sheet of $1 million ($866k) in 2022.
Paul McCartney, on the other hand, has an estimated fortune of $1.27 billion (£1bn) according to The Sunday Times Rich List 2024. McCartney is the first UK musician to reach billonaire status.
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, having fallen in love with the art of taking pictures from an early age when Linda showed her the ropes.
Mary has since photographed everyone from her famous father to Taylor Swift, and even the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The Beatles kid has also dabbled in filmmaking and has written a number of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks – and she's even got 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 (£12m).
The first of Ringo Starr's three kids with Maureen Cox, Zak Starkey arrived in the world 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 and remains the band's touring drummer.
Zak was also Oasis's third drummer and has worked with the likes of Paul Weller and Johnny Marr over the years.
Thanks to his outstanding career, the top musician has amassed an enviable fortune, which sources estimate at $20 million (£16m).
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. At one point, the Beatles kid appeared to be flirting with the idea of forming a band with Zak Starkey, Sean Lennon, and Dhani Harrison, although that didn't come to fruition.
James followed up the Me LP with a second album entitled The Blackberry Train, which came out in 2016.
He hasn't released anything since but can afford to take his time – after all, online sources suggest he's worth a very tidy $20 million (£16m).
Julian Lennon, John Lennon's son from his first marriage to Cynthia Powell, was born in 1962.
John wrote the Beatles classic Hey Jude for his son but, after he left Cynthia for Yoko Ono in 1968, their relationship 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 all of his own.
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 (£40m), though he's rumoured to have inherited $25 million (£20m) after he contested his father's will.
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 went on to study fashion design at London's prestigious Central Saint Martin. Her 1995 graduate show featured supermodels Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Yasmin Le Bon.
In 1997, Stella became creative director of Parisian label Chloé. Four years later, she launched her namesake brand, which has been a phenomenal success and epitomises 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 $75 million (£60m).
Born in 1975, Sean Lennon is John Lennon's only child with Yoko Ono.
Like John's first-born son, Sean also inspired his father to write a song, Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy), which featured on his last album.
Sean has also followed in his father's footsteps by opting for a career in music. To date, he's released two solo albums, been a member of several bands, and worked as a record producer.
Following John's tragic death in 1980, Sean was a major beneficiary of his $200 million (£157m) estate, which equates to $730 million (£574m) in today's money, although Yoko received the lion's share.
As such, Sean is a very wealthy man, with an estimated fortune of $200 million (£157m).
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 kids together.
Dhani, who was named after the sixth and seventh notes of the Indian music scale, started out his career by assisting his dad in the recording studio.
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 a solo album.
The richest Beatles' offspring, Dhani was a major beneficiary of his father's multimillion-dollar estate along with his mother. Sources calculate his fortune to be worth around $275 million (£217m).
