Paul McCartney’s career boxscore total reaches $1 Billion

Last updated on November 24, 2022

On this day, Billboard Magazine reported that the revenue generated from the recent “Got Back” tour helped Paul McCartney reach the $1 Billion mark, for his entire career boxscore.


After his May 31 show at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tenn., McCartney’s total reported career gross shot just $100k north of the $1 billion mark, making him one of just 11 artists to surpass the 10-digit mark in Boxscore’s 30-year-plus history.

As Billboard reported last week, McCartney joins the billion-dollar club alongside Coldplay, both hitting the benchmark within eight days of one another. Other club members including The Rolling Stones, Elton John, the Eagles and Kenny Chesney are also on the road this summer, competing in stadiums worldwide.

Including the opening show in April and five additional dates in June, the Got Back Tour wrapped with $101.7 million and 416,000 tickets in just fifteen shows.
