The richest Pirates cast member by far is Paul McCartney, whose cameo in Dead Men Tell No Tales makes this ranking end on a surreal note. The Beatles legend appeared as Uncle Jack, Jack Sparrow's long-lost relative, after Keith Richards was unavailable to reprise Captain Teague. Depp reportedly texted McCartney, who agreed to join the film as a friendly favour, and the pair shaped the scene together.

The cameo was tiny, but McCartney's fortune is anything but: Celebrity Net Worth pegs it at $1.2 billion (£907m), thanks to the Beatles, Wings, solo tours and decades of publishing income.
