Paul McCartney, who seems to own everything, now has a piece of one of the biggest American football teams, the Green Bay Packers. Yes, the news is true!
With a net worth of $1.2 billion, Paul McCartney has officially become the Packers stockholder. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, McCartney was asked during his concert at Lambeau Field last Saturday by President and CEO Mark Murphy. Murphy also brought a game ball for McCartney to celebrate his first time playing in Green Bay. And McCartney sure didn’t shy away from showing off his arm.
“I didn’t realize he was left-handed,” the president and CEO of the Packers said. “He threw a pass with his left hand, and Gabrielle Valfez Dow (vice president of marketing and fan engagement at the Packers) made the absolute perfect catch.”
The stadium was jam-packed with a crowd of nearly 50,000 people cheering and vibing with McCartney’s astonishing performance. With his official contract with the Packers, Sir Paul McCartney has become a part of the franchise and added the NFL team shareholder to his long list of triumphs.
The perfect night for Paul McCartney and Green Bay Packers
With an incredible performance, amazing weather, a crowd of 50,000 happy fans, and a flawless performance from start to finish, everything about the concert felt like a touchdown. The Green Bay Packers have been working for years with Live Nation. And as McCartney doesn’t usually play in football stadiums anymore, this concert at Lambeau was believed to be the largest venue for his tour.
He said, “It was just a perfect night…A lot of people here put a lot of time and effort into it, and it’s great to see everything come off the way it did.”
In the middle of the concert, McCartney asked the audience who was from Green Bay, who came from elsewhere, or who came from points farther away. To his surprise, the crowd’s response was quite evenly split. Many, in fact, came for the very first time to Lambeau to see his concert.
The fans of the Beatles very well know their history with the Packers. As a fan wrote on X, “Greatest moments in Lambeau Field history: 1. Bart Starr crosses the goal line in the 1967 Ice Bowl. 2. ‘Live and Let Die’ on June 8, 2019.”
It was genuinely marvelous to see McCartney, at the age of 76, perform for three hours straight without taking any breaks off stage. He made the three hours feel like a second had passed away in the blink of an eye. The singer performed a total of 38 songs picked from his entire career, but each had different meanings to different people. And they surely didn’t want to miss even a single one.
