Career

Back in those days, he was discouraged from singing as his father wanted him to continue down the family’s career path. However, fate had very different plans for the elder Jagger. Mick Jagger met the Rolling Stone’s co-founder Keith Richards in school while the two went their separate ways before college.

However, after a chance encounter at the Dartford Station in July 1960, the duo decided to move into a flat together and rekindle their friendship and love for rhythm and blues. It was during their stay together that the two came across Tony Chapman, Ian Stewart and Dick Taylor, and the three were quickly inducted into the band.

The band had their first performance in London in 1962 and they quickly rose to prominence. By 1964 individual polls started suggesting that the Rolling Stones were more popular than the iconic British band, The Beatles. The band added 20 new albums to their portfolio in the next two decades, which went on to have a major impact on Mick Jagger’s current net worth.
