They were all millionaires in 1976. Their album was #1 and they had 3 hit singles and a year of solid touring. Being a millionaire in 1976 was a HUGE deal. Today that would be like being worth around 5 million?
The band seldom talks about how much money they make. But I remember an interview with Stevie that said when 1976 came along all their hard work of promoting the album before it came out and then touring afterwards all made them millionaires. 2 years prior she was waiting tables and cleaning so it was a rags to riches story. Warner Brothers was thrilled and of course it made sense to spend time and money on the follow up.
