After making £40m from his Driving USA Tour (the most profitable tour in the US this year), Sir Paul McCartney is set to earn a further £70m before Christmas with his second American tour this year. According to the tabloids, McCartney is set to play 23 dates on his 'Back In the US' series in the autumn. The average ticket costs £100, which earns the ex-Beatle a massive £1m a night. A tour insider told the Sun: "This has been Paul’s best year for a long time. He wed Heather, headlined the Jubilee gig and had a massive success with his Driving USA shows." With an estimated personal wealth of £713m you have to ask yourself 'does he really need the extra green?'
