Oasis: what is Noel and Liam Gallagher’s net worth?

Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher – or the Gallagher brothers – took their own advice about the perils of looking back in anger, and came to the conclusion that music (or perhaps the money) was more important than their 15-year feud. The Oasis Live ‘25 Tour became one of the most-attended and highest-grossing tours of 2025.

The Oasis reunion tour has surely added several zeroes to the brothers’ fortunes, even if they are nowhere near matching the wealth of fellow British musicians Robbie Williams and Ed Sheeran.

With that in mind, how much money did the Britpop pioneers make from the tour, and what does it mean for their net worth?

What does the Oasis reunion mean for Noel and Liam Gallagher’s net worth?

The Oasis Live ‘25 Tour is estimated to have made $405,428,435, with over two million tickets sold, according to trade publication Pollstar.

Tickets were priced between £73 and £205. In comparison, a ticket to the Oasis tour in 1995 cost just £14, The Times reports, which, when accounting for inflation, is equivalent to £29.05 in January 2026.

With 41 concerts in 14 countries, each show made just shy of £10 million, second only to Taylor Swift’s billion-dollar Eras Tour. Swift’s tour was on a much higher level, with 149 dates spanning 51 cities and five continents.

Further analysis by The Times suggests Noel and Liam Gallagher will have made at least £50 million each from the tour, but the actual figure is estimated to be much higher due to merchandise and streaming sales.

Data from the University of Salford shows that fans spent £166 million on travel and accommodation in cities like Manchester, Cardiff and London, while the total economic contribution of the reunion tour was roughly £940 million. In London alone, the tour is estimated to have added more than £426 million to Britain’s economy.

Online reports of their net worth are difficult to verify, but the Sunday Times Rich List calculated the brothers’ combined wealth as £52 million back in 2009, when the band first split. By 2018, it was estimated to have climbed to £60 million.

That said, Noel is widely recognised as the wealthier of the two brothers – and by a significant margin. As the primary songwriter and producer on the band’s music, he earns the lion’s share when it comes to royalties.

Expensive divorce settlements have also taken a chunk out of their wealth in recent years. When Liam divorced his second wife, Nicole Appleton, in 2015, court documents showed the £5.5 million payout she received represented half of his wealth at the time.

Noel also announced a split from his second wife, Sara MacDonald, in 2023, and is understood to have paid a £20 million divorce settlement. It is unclear how much of Noel’s wealth this represented.

What about money from merchandise and streaming?

As well as ticket sales, revenue from Oasis merchandise and an uptick in streaming will boost the brothers’ net worth.

Returning from their 16-year hiatus meant that there was increased demand for the brothers’ collectable merchandise, with original Oasis T-shirts, hoodies and physical media selling for around £500 on eBay.

A report in The Sun claims the Gallaghers landed a £20 million payday after their merchandise partner – part of Warner Music Group – secured the rights to the black and white image used when the comeback tour was first announced in August 2024.

The band has reportedly filed documents at the Intellectual Property Office to prevent unauthorised reuse by bootleg merchandisers.

An increase in streaming activity could also mean more income from royalties. The artists have garnered over ten billion all-time streams on Spotify, with fans streaming Wonderwall around 2.7 billion times (that’s 1.2 million streams daily), and Don’t Look Back in Anger 1.3 billion times. Spotify pays between $0.003 and $0.005 per stream, so that’s at least $45 million in their pockets.

There’s also money in merchandise. The tour merch included £20 tote bags, £85 hoodies and bucket hats for £40. All-in-all, fans spent £188 million buying these goodies, according to the University of Salford.
