20 Richest Song Writers Of All-Time

George Harrison Makeshift Memorial

George Harrison $400 Million

Paul McCartney wasn’t the only member of the Beatles to write songs for the group. He also wrote plenty of songs for his solo career and when he was a member of The Traveling Wilburys. A few of his most popular songs include “Any Road”, “Let It Roll”, “Beautiful Girl”, “Flying”, and “I Need You”. Unfortunately, George’s career wasn’t the easiest. While he was a member of The Beatles, he was a bit paranoid. After John Lennon was murdered, he took it very hard and he became a paranoid recluse. He was stabbed once and he developed cancer. Although he had surgery to have a tumor removed, the cancer eventually killed him. Even though his life was difficult, he will always be remembered as one of the most famous musicians and songwriters in the world.
