Sir Mick Jagger is one of the most famous rock stars in the world and has become incredibly wealthy. However, he recently suggested that he won’t be passing down his fortune to his children. The 80-year-old Rolling Stones frontman has been in the music scene since the band formed in London in 1962.
Since then, the band has released 31 studio albums, 122 singles, and 77 music videos. They have sold over 200 million records worldwide and were ranked the second greatest artist of all time by Billboard, just behind The Beatles.
The Rolling Stones are also one of the longest-running music groups ever, staying together for an amazing 61 years!

It’s no surprise that the Rolling Stones have made a lot of money, including Mick Jagger.
However, Jagger’s children won’t automatically become rich, as he mentioned in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal.
The father of eight said he has no plans to sell the band’s post-1971 catalog, which has become a popular move among musicians. This means selling the rights to their songs or recordings. For example, Bob Dylan sold his music catalog for $300 million, and Dolly Parton has expressed interest in doing the same. In his interview, Jagger said that even if The Rolling Stones sell their music catalog, he won’t be passing the money to his children. “The children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on,” he said.

Though, if a deal is made, Jagger would prefer that the money goes to charity. “You maybe do some good in the world,” he said.
