Brian Epstein, his full name was Brian Samuel Epstein.
One would have to study the income tax forms of the Beatles (or their manager Brian Epstein) to begin to know for sure, or know their booking fees of the time to make an estimate (studying their playdates lists, which have been published). By 1962 they were the top band in Liverpool, working steadily there and in Hamburg, and beginning to play more and more in different British cities. They had a manager, who was working with them on their image and stage presence (Epstein's background was in theater), and able to get them better fees to play. The Beatles could support their lifestyle, but each of them still lived at home. John Lennon's girlfriend Cynthia became pregnant with his baby, and they were married in August; their wedding present from Brian Epstein was the lease on a small apartment. Ringo Starr joined the band for a salary of £25 per week at first; if he was satisfied enough with that to leave Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, and felt no jealousies toward the other Beatles paywise (who each paid Epstein 20% of their earnings), this could be a figure for rough estimates. The Beatles made their first single for EMI's Parlophone Records in 1962; the original contract paid the band a penny farthing per record sold, which had to be split five ways (between each of the Beatles, and Epstein in turn). "Love Me Do" only sold a few thousand copies, and 10,000 of those were bought by Epstein personally, hoping to jump-start the Beatles onto the music charts. Their first single didn't make them rich; it was their second one ("Please Please Me"), early in 1963, that made the difference.
Record-store manager Brian Epstein visited them in the Cavern Club in Liverpool, after some of his customers asked him about a record they made in Germany ("My Bonnie", backing singer Tony Sheridan), that he couldn't find in any catalogs. He took an interest in the band, and became their manager.
David Sparrow was born on March 4, 1962.
Allan Williams was the band's manager when they began using The Beatles name in 1960. They secured a booking without him later, and allowed departing member Stuart Sutcliffe to break the news to Williams. Williams had opened a club in Liverpool, that burned to the ground not long after; any contract he had with the Beatles was lost in that fire, and he let them go. He later wrote a memoir, titled The Man Who Gave the Beatles Away.Brian Epstein signed the Beatles up in 1962, but contacted Williams to see if he still had any contractual ties to them. He didn't, but advised Epstein "Don't touch them with a barge pole. They will let you down." Epstein took them on, tidied their image, and helped them become famous. Epstein managed the Beatles until his death in 1967, during the same weekend they visited the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Wales.The Beatles went without a manager for a couple years, until their company Apple Corps got into trouble. Allen Klein offered to help, and he became business manager to Lennon, Harrison and Starr. McCartney wanted his father-in-law Lee Eastman to take over, but the others rejected him. Klein and Eastman did NOT get along; their clashes were one of the factors that broke the Beatles up.Eastman did all right by McCartney; Klein had his limitations (and made his mistakes) with the other three, and they split with him later. Former road manager Neil Aspinall took over running Apple Corps after the Beatles' partnership was dissolved in 1975; they decided to keep Apple, and it became the licensing agent for Beatles merchandise, new music releases, and related products.Aspinall ran the Beatles affairs for far longer than any of the other managers.
