Ringo Starr has an estimated net worth of $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Ringo Starr net worth page (figures as of October 7, 2026).
Sir Ringo Starr, whose real name is Richard Starkey, is an English musician, singer, songwriter and actor who was born on 7 July 1940. He achieved international fame as the drummer for the Beatles, and sometimes sang lead vocals on the group's recordings, including Yellow Submarine and With a Little Help from My Friends. He also wrote and sang the Beatles songs Don't Pass Me By and Octopus's Garden.
As a teenager he became interested in the skiffle craze and in 1957 co-founded his first band, the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group. He was a member of Rory Storm and the Hurricanes when the Beatles formed in 1960, and left that group to join the Beatles in August 1962, replacing Pete Best. After the Beatles disbanded he released successful singles including It Don't Come Easy, Photograph and You're Sixteen, and his 1973 album Ringo was a top-ten release in both the UK and the US.
How Ringo Starr makes his money
The Beatles are the foundation. As one of the four members of one of the best-selling bands in history, he shares in the earnings from the group's recordings, and the songs he wrote and sang add smaller songwriting royalties of his own.
His solo career added to that. Singles such as Photograph and You're Sixteen reached number one, and his 1973 album Ringo was a major hit.
Touring has been steady income. Since 1989 he has toured with sixteen variations of Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band, which brings him ticket sales in many countries.
He has also acted in numerous films, hosted television shows, and narrated the first two series of the children's television series Thomas and Friends, which brought him extra fees.
