Thanks to his role as the Beach Boys' primary songwriter, Brian has earned a net worth of roughly $100 million, and that sum could have been even greater if not for some poor business decisions. The chief issue came in 1969, when Brian's father sold the rights to many of the band's earliest hits to Irving Alamo Music for just $700,000. If they had held onto those rights, they would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars today.
