The Rolling Stones are far from being paupers and our eyeliner-wearing guitarist is no exception. Keith Richards is worth a whopping $500 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Where does this haul of cash come from? For starters, the Rolling Stones have sold over 200 million albums, according to Showbiz CheatSheet. Another key element to their success is the fact that they continue to tour. According to their official website, the Stones were preparing for their 2020 "No Filter" tour. The only reason they had to postpone was because of the coronavirus pandemic. Clearly, it isn't their age slowing them down.

Richards' money comes from other sources too. In 2010, he released his memoir, "Life," which The New York Times called "intense, elemental, utterly distinctive and achingly, emotionally direct." So the memoir was obviously a hit in terms of critical reception as well as sales. Richards also has been involved in many movies; for some, he worked on the soundtracks, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" fans will recognize him as Captain Teague, according to his IMDb credits. Clearly, Richards' success comes from talent, hard work, and a long life.
