The OSOTM and SA tours weren't exactly blockbusters, my friend.
I have a hard time believing she made that much of a profit on those tours.

She made a little under $3 million from the Dixie Chicks' Landslide, and much, much, much less from the Smashing Pumpkins and Corrs covers. The reason Landslide netted her so much was because it was an enormous hit, not so with any other covers of her material.

Yeah, but she also blew a lot of her money away on cocaine and I can't see where she made much money from '92-'96, with the exception royalties and such. She made just as much as Lindsey and Chris when The Dance rolled around, so...Again, Stevie has said before the Lindsey got the lions share of the dough and that he invested wisely.

Exactly. None of us know, but it sure as hell is fun.
