Good Bad Billionaire · Sir Paul McCartney: The rich one - Live at Crossed Wires · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

This was the start of Beatlemania, and soon folks in the US started taking notice.

So talk show Ed Sullivan, this is where we came in, invited the Beatles to appear on his show.

I did not know that was the first stadium rock show, I must say.

You've seen the footage of that, right?

You can't actually really hear the music.

All you can hear is the screaming.

And the band, this tiny little band with a little drum kit and a couple of little amplifiers in this massive stadium with people screaming.

It was a real phenomenon at the time.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

With all of that, you'd think he must be a millionaire.

The fact is that in the UK, so I've got my business editor hat on here, it was pretty hard to become a millionaire in the 1960s.

Brian's lack of music industry experience wasn't helping them get rich.

The original deal he'd stuck with EMI wasn't that great.

EMI were paying the Beatles one P for every single sold.

Now, back then, a seven-inch single cost six shillings and threepence, threepence in old money.

And old money is pretty complicated.

That's about six pounds today.

So one P was the equivalent of 19 pence today.

So they were getting around...

3% or 1 30th of the sale price of each record and their contract stipulated that even that was only paid on 85% of the records that were sold because 15% was reserved for records damage and what have you so they're not making a very big slice of what is becoming a very big pie
