Mick Jagger Hints Rolling Stones May Leave $500M Album Fortune to Charity to 'Do Some Good in the World'

The Rolling Stones are set to notch another album in their discography with the release of 'Hackney Diamonds' on Oct. 20

Mick Jagger is getting candid about the Rolling Stones’ legacy.

The “(I Can't Go) Satisfaction” singer, who is set to put out a new album with the band in October, said that while the Rolling Stones have no plans right now to sell their post-1971 catalog — which includes Black and Blue and Tattoo You — but have some ideas of what to do with it eventually.

In a new interview with WSJ Magazine, the 80-year-old rock legend said they could give the approximately half a billion dollars they would get from selling it to their heirs, but “the children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on.”

So he said that “maybe” the money could go to charity instead. “You maybe do some good in the world,” added Jagger.

In the meantime, he and fellow bandmembers Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are notching another album in their discography with their upcoming release called Hackney Diamonds, which is the band’s first album of original music in 18 years.

And where was the editor of this story? Holy Cow, that’s a mistake that should have been caught! And frankly, shouldn’t have been made, to begin with.

To add to that, how does selling the songs to their kids for $500 million give the kids $500 million dollars to live well?

"In a new interview with WSJ Magazine, the 80-year-old rock legend said they could give the approximately half a billion dollars they would get from selling it to their heirs, but “the children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on.”

(like that stray and unnecessary "while" ).

You could rephrase it as "the 80-year-old rock legend said they could give to their heirs the approximately half a billion dollars they would get from selling it" - still quite clunky, but at least clearer.
