Does he still get residuals from his Beatles stuff?

Good question so I did some quick research..

Ringo didn't write many songs (where royalty money comes from) But he owns a piece of Apple Records that still is in business and putting out lots of new talent, and he gets a share of anything marketed that's Beatle related. He also tours with his All Star Band.

Forbes had him earning 6M in 2013, the same as George Harrison's estate.

If George made $6 million as a dead guy, Paul must crush it.

Oh my my!

Happy Birthday, Ringo!

I had forgotten that he was the oldest of the Beatles, 3 months older than John Lennon.
