Exactly. That's why I'm thinking Waters after Paul.
Floyd was huge, their songs are still being use today in pop culture.

Richest bassist?

It's got to be Paul. I think he's one of the wealthiest people in the U.K., he has played nothing but arenas since 1964, and has had a ridiculous number of albums top the charts throughout his career (too lazy to Wiki it).
I dont think he said paul was not a real bass player. Ya...I see where he talking about areosmith, but nothing saying paul is not. Good thing he did not state his OPINION about Geddy, there would be an all out war!
Here's a few more I looked up (in no particular order). Sir Paul eclipses all of them.
Paul McCartney - $700 million
Les Claypool - $45 million
Roger Waters - $75 million
Sting - $290 million
Flea - $115 million
Steve Harris - $60 million
Dusty Hill - $55 million
John Paul Jones - $60 Million
Geddy Lee - $28 million
John Deacon - $78 million
Paul McCartney - $700 million
Les Claypool - $45 million
Roger Waters - $75 million
Sting - $290 million
Flea - $115 million
Steve Harris - $60 million
Dusty Hill - $55 million
John Paul Jones - $60 Million
Geddy Lee - $28 million
John Deacon - $78 million
you should add john deacon of queen inside the last i saw his net worth is 65million and paul net worth as of 2012 maybe more than 1 billion, here is the link http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/enterta...aul-mccartney-as-worlds-wealthiest-rock-star/
I'm getting the figures from this website: Celebrity NetWorth
According to that site John Deacon has a net worth of $78 million, which is just a few more than Waters. Surprising..

I'll bet the Flora Aurum (original price $100,000) is still sitting in the gallery at the Wynn in Vegas.

Les Claypool $45 Million? What did he win Powerball?
How can that be possible? The guy cant sell out a stadium as far as i know? Has no hit records? That cant be correct.

Wait...where did Les find $45mil? And how does Geddy only have $28mil?
*Edit* Damn! SVT beat me by a minute!
He also doesn't produce for other artists much (if at all), and isn't a prolific songwriter...(thinking as I write)...South Park! He's probably getting South Park royalties.
Don't forget, Deacy wrote "Another One Bites the Dust" and is credited (along with the rest of Queen) for writing a ton of their later stuff.
Tens of thousands more, all of whom could teach Ringo a thing or two. He's just not what I would call a superior drummer. I've played in bands with drummers much better than Ringo.

You also got too remember he has being doing it for quite a while, and primus is a pretty big name. I doubt any bass players Haven't heard of him. That along with having made the south park theme forever ago, playing big festivals around the world (gathering of the vibes for example), plus he has his own winery, autograph signings (the kind where it's 5 bucks to wait in line) and I'm sure I'm missing more. I don't think 45mill is out of his reach. As long as you are smart with your money, you can have as much success as you need financially
