The Eagles‘ Don Henley is fourth with a fortune of $200 million (£127 million) followed by Metallica’s Lars Ulrich with $175 million (£111 million). Close behind them are The Rolling Stones’ Charlie Watts, U2’s Larry Mullen, Queen’s Roger Taylor, Aerosmith’s Joey Kramer and Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Chad Smith, who is worth $90 million (£57 million).
Further down the list, Blink-182‘s Travis Barker is worth $85 million (£54 million), Tommy Lee has $70 million (£48 million) and Green Day‘s Tre Cool has $45 million (£28.5 million).
