Well, I think he deserves slightly less, simply for the fact that the singer (front man) is the mainstay of any band. Lennon and McCartney were on equal parring as both wrote and sung. Anyway that's my opinion, he's still getting twice as much a the other two. To draw an analogy with football once more, people pay to see the guy who puts the ball in the back of the net, not the goalie.
