Mick Jagger, the tireless frontman of The Rolling Stones, has been a fixture in the music world for decades. His energetic stage presence and iconic voice have cemented his place in rock and roll history. But away from the spotlight, it seems his personal life holds a surprising secret.
His current girlfriend, Melanie Hamrick, has revealed in a recent interview that she was completely unaware of both his legendary status and his immense wealth. Yes, it seems like the 37-year-old author-dancer hasn’t heard of THE Mick Jagger.
In an interview with AXS TV, Hamrick discussed their relationship and how it has transformed her life. While she acknowledges the dramatic shift, she admits to being completely surprised by the extent of Jagger’s fame and fortune. His net worth is estimated to be a staggering $500 million, a fact that apparently came as a complete shock to her.
This revelation raises questions about the nature of their relationship and the role money plays in it. Did she truly not know who she was getting involved with, or is there more to the story?
Skepticism Surrounds Hamrick’s Statement
Hamrick’s revelation about being unaware of Mick Jagger’s wealth sparked online cynicism. Many social media users expressed disbelief, suggesting she couldn’t have been completely oblivious.
One commenter dismissed the idea entirely, labeling Hamrick a “gold digger” who might not have known the exact amount but surely understood Jagger’s immense wealth. Another pointed to extravagant displays of wealth, like private jet travel, as clues that would have been impossible to miss.
The overall reaction cast doubt on Hamrick’s sincerity, with some suggesting her statement was a disingenuous way to downplay the role of money in their relationship.
Marriage Rumors and Family Life
Whispers of an engagement swirled around Jagger and Hamrick last year. However, a Rolling Stones representative quickly shut them down, calling it “ill-informed gossip”. According to The Mirror, the rumors stemmed from Hamrick sporting a diamond ring at the American Ballet Theatre, supposedly telling friends they were engaged.
However, Hamrick clarified that the ring was a “commitment ring” rather than an engagement ring. Despite being together for almost a decade, marriage doesn’t seem to be a priority for Hamrick. When asked about it, she expressed a neutral stance.
Jagger, on the other hand, already has eight children from five different relationships, with their son Deveraux being his only child with Hamrick. While Hamrick has no desire for more children, Jagger’s position on the matter remains unclear.
