1. The Beatles
Certified unit sales: 250 million
It should come as no surprise that the Beatles hold the crown in our list of the richest bands of all time. With 250 million certified albums sold, the British rockers created a legendary presence in the music industry that earned them $600 million in their active years between 1960 and 1970. Furthermore, Paul McCartney went on to generate even more cash as a solo artist and when combined with Ringo Starr’s earnings, the band members hold a net worth of $1 billion.
