London, Dec 7 : They might have split almost 40 years ago, but the Beatles raked in more moolah in the past year than Madonna and Kanye West.
Along with the estates of the two dead members of the band, the two surviving members of the Fab Four received 35.1million pounds in dividends from Apple Corps, the company that represents the pop legends’ commercial interests.
The four parties – Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the estates of John Len-non and George Harrison – are the main shareholders in the company that has managed the Beatles’ interests since the 1960s, reports Times Online.
