I don't have it here in front of me but on one of their recent cds (I'm thinking maybe the Rumours reissue and/or the White Album reissue) the listing of the owners of the publishing for Stevie's songs were all sorts of companies I'd never heard of before. Not the usual Welsh Witch Music admin by Sony ATV or whomever, with much of the Mac stuff copublished with whatever was the band's publishing unit. Songs like Rhiannon and several other of her biggest hits (written by her alone) had MULTIPLE publishers...none related to the band.

When I have time I will double check. I just remember being quite astonished by how many songs and the caliber of songs affected.

I think she hires top people but I really wonder how closely she monitors them herself. I bet Karen does...

interesting.. maybe that was a one-off deal to get the re-issues out... her most recent release of those songs (Soundstage) still has welsh witch adm by sony atv on my linernotes.

I thought Stevie and Kim were married for longer than 3 months... wasn't it like 8?

Maybe I'm imagining things (likely).

She's pretty smooth and polished in who she hires and works with.

She gave "Beautiful Child" to UNICEF.

You guys are missing the point. Celebrity Net Worth is just wrong. Mick has been bankrupt and has complained about the songwriters making a lot more from the albums than him. Lindsey gets huge royalties from producing the most popular albums. Stevie has a whole, successful solo career. Mick might be worth 15 to 20 million, but there is no way in hell he is worth 85 million. That is why he is always wanting them to tour. Plus, Stevie has made money from her own solo tours.

My guess is Lindsey and Stevie worth around 85 million. Christine around 50 million. Mick and John from 15 to 30 million. Mick would be lucky to have that much the way he spends. John is more settled.

Wow, admit it! How much of this stuff have you guys really been drinking here?

I think we all pretty much agree with you on that Jondalar; I think the discussion has gotten away from whether the particular numbers on that website are accurate to a more general discussion about the relative wealth of the various members of the band, and how and where they might have earned it and how and where they might spend/piss it away.

Producing is certainly not the only way to make moola. All the merchandising (tee shirts etc) on tours for years and years and years was really where the big money was on tours (not sure if that still holds... or maybe still true for the really big bands. I don't think LB or SN make millions on the merchandise the way a FMac tour does or the way say Stevie did in the 80s)
Don't forget, every time you hear one of their songs on the radio, on satellite radio, on the Muzak played in stores etc... ka-ching. Recently Holiday Road has been featured in an insurance ad.....ka-ching. Having other people cover your songs and make them hits all over again to a new audience (Dixie Chicks!) ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching..... smart real estate investments ka-ching, publishing royalties, performing royalties, producing royalties, artist royalties.......... they could all easily do what Christine has done and never worry for a penny again...

I have a feeling Chris is the one sitting on the nest egg. Wasn't there some article a few years back that she is one of the richest people in Britain?

That was my thought exactly...she's got royalty money coming in, and while she isn't touring like Stevie/the rest of FM, I'm fairly certain she's not spending the money like they are either. I have no way of knowing, but I absolutely imagine she's living in a very modest English manor, somewhere in the countryside where things just aren't that expensive (as opposed to a swanky London loft).

WildHearted · #56 06-19-2012, 06:54 PM

Didn't Chris sell her rights to all the music or something like that?

Or am I still imagining things?

Well, she has both a manor and a London apartment.

I think she is far from being one of the richest people in Britain though.

Nope, I remember that too. I don't know the details, but I assume she got a huge lump sum at the time which reduced her future earning potential.

I saw a couple of years back that this site listed Mick as being worth 85 million and did not believe it.I do however think that since 1975 he and Stevie have easily spent the most of the band members.Mick's problem was that when Fleetwood Mac was not active he did not have much money coming in compared to the 3 writers .Stevie of course also had her solo career but even she must have been getting low on cash by the mid nineties when she had to use money from The Smashing Pumpkins cover of Landslide to repair her swimming pool.So The Dance came along just in time.
