Ah yes, Sir Paul. He is like a fine wine, getting better with age. I wish you would have signed the prenup, Paulie, she definately wasn't worth it. Paul is great live, I'm sure everyone was thrilled at the event.

What class, Sir Paul has, donating to charity is great! Even though it takes alot of time and effort for a band to do a one night stand, for any kind of music, no matter what size of a band. Some people who are living their dream of playing for a living, I would hope they are doing it for the love of playing.
If they aren't, where are their hearts? Most of these stars, do they really need that much?

I guess this is before the divorce battle hahah seriously
he s worth at least a BILLION if not more so
he is one of the most wealth musicans and owns song books the publishing rights to alot of classic songs that keep the money flowing aside from beatle wing and paul money and god knows what investments remeber his father in law was a NY Lawyer Mr Eastman
whats a million to Paul thats like 100 bucks
and he loves to play loves to entertain its so obvoious the joy he has doing it thats why he is so popular asides the talent and endless amazing songs
But Paul is a nice guy very talented Ive met him
the person who paid him who did it was very wealthy and it was proralby a charity event not a private party
but Id rather have john and he might of done it for free as long as YOKO didnt butt in lol!

I would much rather pay McCartney 1million dollars than the Stones 7 million dollars to play at a function. Of course thats if I had it!!!
