    The liverpool population in the 1960 were 1.384,000.
    in the 2022 the population decreased to 249,311
    the reason of was because the immigration of unemployment.
    Gold
    Mccartney:
    Net worth: 100 million
    Albums: 60 gold almbums
    Money: 1.2 billion
    Cilla black
    Net worth 15 million
    Albums: 20
    money:20 million
    John lennon
    money:800 million
    Networth: 200 million
    Albums: 33
    Mick jigger
    networth: 500 million
    Albums: 4

    In addition I think mccartney is greater then the rest since his wealth is relevant to 100 billion today but at that time it was 1.2 billion also he has 60 gold albums which is worth 1 million but times 60 = 60 million also his net worth is 100 million or more. Also he is worth 800 million.
