Mick Jagger, 80, Announces He Won't Leave Assets to His 7 Children but Will Secure Comfortable Future for Wife Melanie Hamrick and Their Child

Mick Jagger, the 80-year-old Rolling Stones frontman with an estimated net worth of $500 million, has recently expressed that he does not intend to leave his substantial fortune to his eight children. In a candid interview with The Wall Street Journal, Jagger remarked, “The children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on,” suggesting that he may consider donating his wealth to charitable causes instead

Jagger's youngest child, Deveraux, is six years old, and his eldest daughter, Karis, is 52. Despite the significant age gap between his children, Jagger has indicated that his decision is not influenced by the number of heirs but rather by his belief in the value of philanthropy

Regarding his current partner, 37-year-old Melanie Hamrick, and their son, Deveraux, Jagger has not publicly specified how they might be provided for in his estate plans. However, he has emphasized the importance of doing “some good in the world,” which may imply a focus on charitable endeavors

While Jagger's statements have sparked discussions about inheritance and philanthropy, it remains to be seen how his final wishes will be formalized. His openness about potentially redirecting his wealth to charity reflects a broader trend among some high-net-worth individuals who choose to allocate their assets to causes they believe will benefit society.
