Loaded Sir Mick Jagger has hinted he may leave his colossal fortune to charity.
The wrinkly rocker, who has eight children with five women, is worth around £411m ($500m) thanks to his decades-long writing partnership with Keith Richards. But the Rolling Stones frontman insisted the group have no plans to sell the rights to their back catalogue because he doesn’t think his offspring “need” the vast amount of money it would bring.
Asked about selling the catalogue, minted Sir Mick told WSJ magazine: “The children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on.”Instead, he discussed the idea of his wealth going to charity and said: “You maybe do some good in the world.”

The 80-year-old singer is accepting the fact AI and other advances of technology mean the group can continue to live on long after he and his bandmates have passed away. Referencing ABBA’s Voyage tour, which sees avatars of the Swedish pop group at their 1970s peak performing their biggest hits, Mick said: “You can have a posthumous business now, can’t you? You can have a posthumous tour.“The technology has really moved on since the ABBA thing, which I was supposed to go to, but I missed it.”

And he had Lucas Jagger, 24, after an affair with Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez. Mick’s youngest son Deveraux Jagger – who he has with partner Melanie Hamrick – is just six years old and Sir Mick says he still feels “relevant” because of the tot. He said: “I have this really wonderful family that supports me. “And I have, you know, young children—that makes you feel like you’re relevant.”
The Brown Sugar hitmaker also says he has grown more comfortable with social media as time has passed. He said: “It’s just a fact of life. But there are boundaries I like to have. “People used to post stuff and everyone would think, whatever girl you’re standing next to…‘Is that your new girlfriend?’ You know. But everyone knows now.”
