Mick Jagger reveals why his children won't get his inheritance

Mick Jagger has revealed that he won't be sharing his wealth amongst his eight children when he dies. 

The Rolling Stones frontman has amassed an impressive fortune of $500 million over his 60-year career in the limelight. 

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the 80-year-old musician hinted that he doesn’t want to sell the band’s post-1971 music inventory.

Jagger teased that the money should go to charity instead of his offspring.

“The children don’t need $500m to live well. Come on,” he joked to the publication.

He went on to say, “You maybe do some good in the world.”

Jagger’s oldest child is daughter, Karis, 52, whom he welcomed with Marsha Hunt in 1970. In 1971, he wed ex-wife Bianca Jagger and had daughter Jade, 51. 

Jagger also shares four children with ex-wife Jerry Hall, whom he was married to from 1990 to 1997: daughters Elizabeth, 39, and Georgia May, 31, and sons James, 38, and Gabriel, 25.

He and model Luciana Morad Gimenez welcomed son Lucas, 24, in 1999, and his youngest child, son Deveraux, 6, with girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, arrived in 2016.
