Not as rich as most people think; other people made far more money from their concerts, their record sales, and especially their merchandising, than the band themselves ever did.
Much of this is because their manager Brian Epstein did his best to be honest in all their business dealings, and fair to The Beatles' fans with prices, but was quickly sussed out as naive by more-experienced (and sometimes downright greedy) promoters and other businessmen, and they took full advantage.
British income taxes also took their toll on the Beatles' earnings; through most of their career, 95% of their income was considered taxable. Their Accountants did the best they could to find legal loopholes and tax shelters for the Beatles (including their homes being owned by their company, and not the band members themselves), but it didn't always help. John Lennon once explained that in order to spend £10,000, he first had to earn £30,000.
Apple Corps also sapped the Beatles' incomes considerably; their hopes for a multimedia conglomerate were ruined by staffers and hangers-on who spent freely, and high-profile business executives who weren't worth their inflated salaries.
