The closest he came was in the late 1960s, when Apple Corps (The Beatles' company) got out of control with spending, with no returns on investments. McCartney overdrew on his personal account, as had all the Beatles.

Allen Klein stopped most of the spending at Apple, and McCartney's new father-in-law Lee Eastman negotiated new clauses in McCartney's recording contract with EMI, making McCartney the owner of his solo records. (The Beatles became solo artists as the band broke up, but the rest of the group's records still belonged to EMI.) This gave him greater leverage with record companies in the future, and a chance at better royalties. (McCartney moved his whole catalog from Capitol Records in the US to Columbia Records for several years, after Capitol failed to promote "Mull Of Kintyre", which became a hit everywhere but the US.)

Eastman also encouraged McCartney to invest in music publishing; even though the Beatles had lost Northern Songs (which published nearly all their songs), McCartney could buy up other catalogs, and did.
