The 30 Richest Drummers in the World
The 30 Richest Drummers in the World
By Tom Breihan
Q: What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians? A: A drummer! If you've spent enough time hanging out with people in bands, you've heard a million jokes like this. But as it turns out, banging on things is potentially way more lucrative than anyone could've realized. Celebrity Net Worth recently published a list of the 30 richest drummers in the world. And maybe it's not surprising that Ringo Starr could buy and sell all of us several times over, or that many of the richest drummers are people who figured out ways to stop being drummers (Dave Grohl, Phil Collins). But how in the hell is Aerosmith's Joey Kramer worth $100 million? Check out the full head-spinning list below. 1. Ringo Starr (The Beatles, $300 million)

Top 10 makes sense & glad to see questlove getting love!
but wtf Steven Adler he hasn't even been in GNR since 1990 & his other bands have not been... anything big.
How they hell does he have a million.... yet 15 million And for a decade he had an incredibly bad coke & heroin habit.
So that is a big wtf to me.. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Not at all. Here's the entire list:
1. Ringo Starr (The Beatles, $300 million) You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I will admit I do love It Don't Come Easy and the whole Ringo album though But he's nowhere near George or John. | |

I seriously, seriously question some of these figures - especially Travis Barker's. [Edited 8/30/12 17:06pm] | |

I wonder does Ringo still get paid from being Mr. Conductor. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.
