"Do I know anything about property? Not really. Well, I suppose I do, come to think of it. I'm being vague. But don't think I'm a big property tycoon. I only buy places I like."
"I've furnished it in traditional style because I don't go for this modern stuff that always looks as if it needs something doing to it. I like it to be comfortable. Those mod leather chairs...ugh. They're too cold."
Paul McCartney has built an extensive real estate portfolio spanning the United Kingdom and United States throughout his decades-long career. He purchased his first property, a Georgian-style townhouse in London's St. John's Wood, in 1965 for £40,000, conveniently located near Abbey Road Studios where The Beatles recorded. McCartney has maintained this London residence continuously, even after his breakup with Jane Asher in 1968, and celebrated his 2011 wedding reception there. The musician has acquired additional properties over the years, primarily sprawling ranches and farms that provide privacy and sentimental value. McCartney emphasizes he is not a property investor but rather purchases homes he personally enjoys.
