Sound CheckRingo Starr named the world’s richest drummer
Too bad Dave Grohl and Charlie Watts.
Celebrity Net Worth compiled "salaries, real estate holdings, divorces, record sales, royalties and endorsements" of drummers from Nirvana, The Beatles, Genesis and the Rolling Stones and declared that the richest drummer on the list is none other than The Beatles' Ringo Starr.

With a net worth of $300 million, the 72-year-old, whose real name is Richard Starkey, easily tops the list ahead of drummers like Phil Collins at number two with $250 million and Nirvana/Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl at number three with $225 million.
Also making the list is Motley Crue's Tommy Lee at number 15 with $70 million, Aerosmith's Joey Kramer with $100 million at number nine, U2's Larry Mullen Jr. at number seven with $150 million and The Rolling Stones' Charlie Watts at number six with $160 million.

A few surprising entries on the list include Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres at number 22 with $40 million and Guns N' Roses' former drummer Steven Adler at number 29 with $15 million.
Torres, who has been with Bon Jovi since their inception in 1983, seems to be worth significantly less than his band mates like lead singer Jon Bon Jovi ($125 Million,) guitarist Richie Sambora ($65 Million,) and keyboardist David Bryan ($85 Million.)
In addition, as Stereogum points out, Adler, who only played on Guns N' Roses' debut album "Appetite for Destruction," 1988's "G N' R Lies," and one song, "Civil War," on "Use Your Illusion II," still made the list even with his bouts on "Celebrity Rehab."
