Paul McCartney is reportedly rock's first billionaire and ranked as music's top moneymaker for 2002. In fact, last year was his best earning year ever, powered by his first tour since 1993. Ticket sales were brisk, with all fifty-three North American dates selling out - and McCartney had the highest ticket prices of any rock show this year, with the average seat going for $130. The final tally worldwide was $130 million, and the sellouts meant little of that money went for excess promotion costs, although sources say the show cost more than $1.4 million a week to keep up. Royalties from the tour's live album, Back in the U.S., were limited, since the album sold lightly: 835,000 in the U.S.; the Beatles back catalog, led by 2000's chart-topping 1 compilation, fared better, with combined sales of close to a million. Add in merchandise sales on the road -- among the best in the business - and you have a list-topping $72.1 million.
