Mick Jagger
Mick Jagger is best known as the front man and lead vocalist for The Rolling Stones. As a singer, writer, and producer of many of The Rolling Stones' biggest hits -- including “Satisfaction” (1964), "Let's Spend the Night Together" (1967), "Sympathy for the Devil" (1968), “Brown Sugar” (1971), and solo efforts “Dancing in the Street” (a collaboration with David Bowe) and “Just Another Night” (1985) -- Jagger has become an industry legend and a bone fide rock and roll icon.

The quintessential rock star, Jagger acted in indie films, rebelled against authority, was arrested for alleged drug use, and bedded famous women such as Carly Simon, Mackenzie Phillips, and Janice Dickinson. He married actress and fashion icon Bianca de Macias in 1971, but the two divorced eight years later when he was caught having an affair with model Jerry Hall. He and Hall remained together for almost 32 years and had four children, and annulled their marriage in 1999.

When Jagger and bandmate Keith Richards were questioned about retirement after the success of their 2007 “A Bigger Bang” tour earned the band a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most lucrative tour in history, Jagger announced that they “had no plans to stop any of that really.” With a personal fortunate estimated at over $400 million, a knighthood in his resume (he was knighted for “Services to Music” by the Prince of Wales in 2003 and is officially ‘Sir Michael Jagger’), seven children and four grandchildren, Jagger rocks on.
