The Rock Legend Is Worth Way More Than You Think

So it comes as no surprise that Keith Richards' net worth is a staggering $500 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. On top of his session and production work, the musician is also a seasoned actor. While he hasn't had many roles, you'll definitely recognize him in the later "Pirates of the Caribbean" films as Jack Sparrow's father, Captain Edward Teague (via IMDb).

But a lot of the Richards' wealth comes from being a best-selling author. In 2010, Richards published his autobiography titled "Life" which sold over 1 million copies within it's first year, becoming "one of the most popular rock autobiographies ever written," per NME.

Four years later, the rock star published a children's book about his relationship with his grandfather, who introduced Richards to music. Titled "Gus & Me: The Story of My Granddad and My First Guitar," the book was a passion project for Richards. "The bond, the special bond, between kids and grandparents is unique and should be treasured," he told the Guardian at the time. "This is a story of one of those magical moments."
