  1. Charlie, has an extensive American Confederate civil war collection. I have seen his collection of Rebel rifles of course in a magazine. Take care

  2. These Net Worth estimates are extremely inaccurate. Last year Charlie Watts’ net worth was listed at $250 million by Celeribity News. www.celebritynetworth.com › richest-celebrities. I doubt he lost $75 million in less than a year. Moreover, his net worth was listed by Forbes over ten years ago as being over $500 million, and Jaggers $880 million. All the original band members and Ronnie Wood take an even split of all the money the Stones generate. The Rolling Stones make more than any other performer(s) per show at $10 million https://money.com/how-much-the-rolling-stones-make-per-night/. They also are #1 in show business in the amount of money generated by royalties each year for over two decades.
