Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey) was originally (1960) paid $25 per week with the Beatles - with the promise that when they started to record and really make some money - he would be a full partner. About 1962 he was rewarded for his patience - and was paid 1/4 of all record sales and concert appearances. He also legally changed his name to Ringo Starr!!
As of 2012 Ringo Starr has a net worth of about $235 million in total assets (houses, land, investments) and pays himself about $10,000 per week - after taxes.
Ringo Starr was the "poorest" of the Beatles as McCartney has a valus of $1.25 billion - John Lennon $455 million uppon his death and George Harrison $475 million upon his death.
The funny part is one of the main reasons the Beatles broke up was that McCartney wanted Linda's father (George Eastman) to handle the money for the Beatles - since that is what he did for a living (NO - he is NOT closely related to the Eastman family of Kodak fame!! And for the most part of 5 years the Beatles millions sat in a bank making absolutly NOTHING in interest - becasue they could not figure out what to do with a huge pile of cash!!) The Beatles said "NO" - they did not trust Eastman! But Paul McCartney DID go with Eastman - and is the only Beatle billionaire - based on investments!!!!!!
Ringo was originally hired as a Beatle for a salary of £25 a week, with the promise of a full partnership in the band in time. The promise was kept, and after The Beatles began to have hit records, Starr's mother discovered the top of his dresser covered with money (wondering at first if it was all come by honestly), and opened a savings account for him. Nonetheless, Starr's initial £25 salary was never discontinued, and he would pick it up every week from NEMS (Brian Epstein's management company). He used it for pocket money.
