Paul McCartney's Daughter Heather Works A Totally Normal Job

Sir Paul McCartney is one of the most famous musicians in the world, having been a quarter of the iconic Brit band, The Beatles. NPR reports that Paul and John Lennon were the group's primary songwriters, penning nearly 200 tracks. Many of the songs will forever be ingrained in music history, such as "Hard Day's Night," "All You Need is Love," and "Eleanor Rigby." The pair's songwriting skills led to the Sunday Times' music critic Richard Buckle hailing them as "the greatest composers since Beethoven," per Billboard.

Not surprisingly, their talent resulted in astounding wealth. In fact, when it comes to Paul's net worth, the legend is worth even more than you think. How much more? Well, according to Celebrity Net Worth, the performer has a cool $1.2 billion in the bank. However, despite Paul's great riches and fame, he's always strived to be a regular family man rather than a rock star.

Rolling Stone reports that Paul married US photographer Linda Eastman in 1969. He adopted her daughter Heather See, and the couple went on to have three children together, Mary, Stella, and James McCartney. Paul and Linda vowed to keep their kids out of the spotlight so they could experience a normal childhood. According to Net a Porter, they attended comprehensive schools, were given a small amount of pocket money each week, and wore second-hand clothes. Three of the four children subsequently forged successful careers in the spotlight, but Paul McCartney's daughter Heather works a totally normal job.

Regarding your career, it's easy to choose the nepotism route if your father is one of the biggest music legends in the world. However, Heather McCartney is one of the kids of celebrities that work completely normal jobs, unlike her three adult siblings. Per Hello! Mary McCartney followed in her mom's footsteps and is a successful photographer; Stella McCartney is a fashion designer with her own luxury clothing empire, while James McCartney is a musician and even collaborates on tracks with his dad. But Heather prefers a lower profile.

Hollywood Life reports that she studied ceramics at art school, and after graduating, she worked as a professional potter. In 1999, she released the Heather McCartney Houseware Collection, inspired by her time in Mexico. Heather enjoys a simpler and more private life than her siblings. She lives on her dad's estate in East Sussex and keeps entirely off social media.

Paul McCartney recently talked about his role as a father and how it's changed over the years. "As far as being a dad is concerned, I've always just tried to give my kids a bit of guidance if they seem to need it — but that was mainly when they were younger," he told PaulMcCartney.com. "Now that they are older, they're guiding me! They don't need so much guidance these days, but if there's ever a problem, I'm very happy to be the guy they come to."

The tragic death of Paul McCartney's first wife, Linda Eastman, in 1998 devastated him. "I think I cried for about a year on and off," he told the BBC. Paul eventually managed to move on, though. Per Daily Mail, he became engaged to the amputee model Heather Mills in 2002. Despite dire warnings from friends and family, Paul married Heather in a grand Irish ceremony that James and Heather McCartney both refused to attend. The couple's turbulent marriage ended in a bitter and very public divorce battle in 2008, with insults and abuse accusations flying thick and fast. However, one good thing resulted from their union — Paul's fifth child, Beatrice.

Despite continuing to duke it out with her mom over custody rights, Paul was determined to play a significant role in raising his youngest daughter. He told Seven Magazine (via Irish Examiner) that Beatrice is his main priority and that he formulates his touring schedule to ensure he spends maximum time with her. "What happens is I don't work when I have my little one," he explained.

Meanwhile, in 2011, it was third time lucky for Paul — fingers crossed. Per the BBC, he wed US businesswoman Nancy Shevell in a small and intimate registry office ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. Paul had married Linda at the same location over four decades previously. This time, all of his kids were in attendance.
