yep. this is the main reason I think Stevie has the most dough. besides Landslide, there's the Dreams remix, the cover of Stand Back which was pretty successful AND the Bootylicious sample.

that's all?! I'm shocked.

THAT BITCH

But seriously, I agree with your post.

I do wonder, however, how much their investments have added to the wealth. I mean if they invested even 10% of the money starting in 1975, they would likely be worth well over $50 million on that alone.

Maybe some interviewer should ask them LOL.

I do find it interesting that LB seemed worried about money in the DR doc - that part about la Nicks backing out of the tour after a certain amount of dates, he had a family to support (in their $20 million) house ) - etc.

Also, from the looks of it in that magazine last year, that house La Nicks bought on the beach in LA (Malibu?) had to have cost over $10 million.

I think they should adopt me

I am picturing Cuddles Kovinsky (Edith Massey) trying on that dress and it splits in the film "Polyester" - THOSE DAMN DESIGNERS

Not sure about paid more. The producer gets paid first.

but the production royalties are in addition to writing/performing royalties, right? so he would be making more?

I would kinda assume that most of the 70's money was basically burned. Houses, cars, parties, limos, booger-sugar , etc. Work hard, play hard. Plus, when you're splitting the publishing three ways and the list price of an album was $8.98, it's a small piece of a small pie. And concert tickets were only like $7. Oh, those were the days... I suspect that the money didn't really start piling up until the mid eighties, when CD sales started to kick in, and when everyone got sober, and everyone finally started "thinking about tomorrow."

True - but hotel suites were $100 a night, cars were $10,000 or less, houses were way cheaper, gas was $2.25 a gallon (HEY WAIT A MINUTE )

Joking aside, I wonder if they had "people" managing their money. I know many did back then -- though I am sure much of it went pretty fast, which they admit happened in the Tusk tour.

Didn't Stevie day she was a millionaire within six months of joing FM. That some big cash back then.

No, "special thanks" doesn't equate into $$$$. Now if it said "produced BY" then cha-CHING!!!.

yeah ole' Bucky got stiffed on Tusk in those terms didnt he?

I'd say Stevie then and Stevie now. Lindsey may have a nice chunk of change, but I suspect having a wife and family takes a good bit away from that. Although Stevie isn't lacking in people to support either.
