I'd say firstly because even if they had 100% comparable careers comparing the current net worth of two people makes no sense when you're trying to establish what was a more "successful" approach in terms of earned income.

Maybe Jagger made way more money than McCartney and just spent it all on private jets, gambling etc., while McCartney invested it.
