“Satisfaction. It comes from knowing he’s a rock legend. And rich. He said he didn’t want to be singing his hit “Satisfaction” in the seventies, but he’s still singing it. To the tune of riches. Now he says, “I am driven. It’s no longer for the money. I always knew I’d be rich. I always thought I was special.” In the sixties, the Rolling Stones had over $350 million dollars in revenue. In the eighties, Mick Jagger is a rock tycoon, often investing in risky business offshore oil drilling, buying art, and having fashion-y type decorators create new rich homes for himself and Jerry Hall. Mick Jagger is the true capitalist image of success. His earnings from record sales alone will keep his chateau in France, his townhouse in New York and his three love-child daughters swimming in luxury.”

André Leon Talley reflecting on Mick Jagger in the 1984 book Mega-Star. (Boy, can you tell Talley wrote this in the “greed-is-good” 1980s?). Born on this day 80 years ago (26 July 1943): flamboyant jet-setting Rolling Stones frontman Sir Michael Philip Jagger! Pictured: Andy Warhol portrait of Jagger, 1980.
