May's fortune is matched by an unusually wide-ranging CV. Away from Queen, he has released solo material, completed a PhD in astrophysics and become a prominent animal rights campaigner. In 2023, the rock legend was knighted for services to music and charity, cementing his national treasure status.

May has remained central to Queen's modern business, from reissues and the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic to the band's lucrative live revival with Adam Lambert. Celebrity Net Worth estimates May's fortune at $260 million (£193.6m), a figure considerably bolstered by Queen's landmark catalogue sale in 2024.
