Did you see him on that celebrity diet show last year? He was a major ass. But it made for addicting TV.

Now I'm wondering what would the rest of Fleetwood Mac's networth would ring up to.

i think it's possible. Stevie has mentioned in several interviews how Lindsey, as producer, made the lion's share of money from the album sales. plus, she only got royalties on 2-4 songs per album. i'd be interested to know the score.

[iamnotafraid]

Mick = Bankrupt (how many times?).

John = Made less than all of them (of the 5).

Christine = Hiding her $$$ in mason jars on her farm.

Lindsey = Miser. Probably has more than the witch...I mean Stevie.

Stevie = Should have more than all the rest combined. But she's still
touring. What does that tell you about her financial situation???

I think Stevie was being modest. Clearly Stevie is the tycoon in the band; one of her solo albums outsells Lindsey's entire solo output combined. And surely her publishing catalogue, especially the song "Landslide" is worth much, much more than Lindsey's. And when you factor in her highly profitable solo tours vs. Lindsey's money-losing tours, there's no comparison. Yeah, he made a few extra shekels on the production end of Rumours, but then again, the producer royalties also had to be split with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut.

Stevie probably has a larger monthly nut than Lindsey... but not by all that much. She has her payroll- Chris, Sharon, Lori, Karen, a live-in housekeeper (presumably), etc. But Lindsey's got that new mega-mansion plus a high maintenance trophy wife and the gardener's his kids to support along with nannies and a housekeeper or two. Considering that he has probably actually earned substantial income only 3 out of the last 10 years (from touring), Lindsey probably burns through a large chunk of what he has taken home.

The highway that runs through TV Land is littered with unfortunate replacement-casting. Never once has this worked successfully. That show is awful, but Buddah knows it's a cash cow for CBS, so they're not going to risk anything. By the time the show ends it will have to be retitled "Three Men."

Yes, I doubt that Anderson's worth $100 million, but he did just sign on to host a daytime talk show (in addition to his 360 duties). So, perhaps he'll soon be as rich as . . . Phil Donahue.

Gloria's had financial problems. She's overcome them and lives comfortably, but it's not like she's still got a collection of Vanderbilt mansions. Whatever fortune she made from the jeans is long gone. I'd say Anderson is worth more than she is.

Indeed she did have some problems... but I suppose that's par for the course for silly old money offspring. Too bad money couldn't buy smarts! Surely Anderson Cooper is wealthy, but I seriously doubt 100 million-dollar wealthy. I know CNN is not paying him more than 7 figures annually; his nightly chat show doesn't even fetch 1 million viewers. And he most recently bought a former firehouse in the East Village that he is converting to a residence- probably paid something like $2 - 3 million for it, which is chump change by NYC standards. And his "Hamptons house" is barely in the Hamptons- it's in East Quogue! I know... horrible, right? Someone worth $100 million would probably not be living so "modestly." I think AC is probably in the solid $20 million range. But with everything going on with his career, surely he will hit $100 at some point.

Another factor, long ago, to consider is that Stevie owned one third of Modern Records, and as such, was paid far more in royalties per album sold than almost any recording artist unless they owned their masters or owned part of their record company. Not many did.
I think it would be conservative to estimate that from 'Bella Donna' to 'Street Angel' that Stevie sold nine million albums. More, even, is possible. She had the publishing from three big singles she wrote (L&L, EOS, and SB), tours, home video releases, and was one third owner of Modern. Of course, there were the costs of production and music videos, some of which was absorbed by Modern's parent company, Atlantic.
She had to have earned a minimum of $25 million from the Modern association, alone. I think more than that, but am trying to be conservative. She had a slowdown in the 90s, though 'Timespace' and the tour did well enough, then she had some 'SA' tour revenue- and a streamlined band and touring by bus for the first time to maximize profits- her people were smart when it slowed down badly in '94- and likely did well with 'Twisted' and 'Boys On The Side' - soundtracks paid hugely at the time.
This doesn't even include massive 'Rumours' sales and Tusk's year long tour, or her 80s work with Fleetwood Mac or soundtrack work in the '80s.
In '97, there was the windfall from 'The Dance' cd selling 4 million copies , vhs and dvd sales of 'The Dance' were beyond expectations, as dvd replaced vhs and retail chains had 'The Dance' dvd playing constantly- the tour was a sellout, if not long- and then, concert ticket prices began skyrocking circa 1998.
And she's toured nearly every year since 2000. That $40 million figure is crazy low. She had that much, or nearly, before 'The Dance'.

[Artemis]

Couldn't Lindsey be worth more than Stevie because he produces? I think I read somewhere that Stevie said that Lindsey got way more than the other people in the band because of that fact.

Although, I suppose Stevie's solo career would be worth more than Lindsey's... but then again... I've gone off on a tangent here

I think Stevie would be worth about $150 million at least. Didn't they all get $9 million each from Unleashed alone? $40 million just seems... off.

Then again, Stevie went through money faster than we all go through toilet paper so, maybe it isn't so off

Buddha forbid that he actually married out of love. I don't get the Kristen bashing at all. She hasn't portrayed herself in the media or otherwise as a trophy wife or money grabber, so why just dismiss her as such? I sometimes have to wonder if it's just jealousy that he found somebody who made him happy, or maybe because it's not Stevie. I don't know Kristen and so I refuse to pass judgement on her. And imho, those children look a darn lot like Lindsey if they are the gardener's children....

This statement of yours conjures up all kinds of lurid thoughts in my mind and it has nothing to do with money.

...or perhaps she fits a certain trophy wife stereotype:

-~20 years younger- CHECK
-blonde with perky... collarbones- CHECK
-throws benefit luncheons with/for the other trophy wives- CHECK
-has a part-time "job" that involves spending more money than earning money- CHECK

I think you are assuming that the designation "trophy wife" is actually a bad thing. Personally I think it's more of a compliment than a dig. Trophies are rewards for diligence and excellence.

There appears to be a giant vagina in the thread. Hm.

I totally shat bricks at first

Both Stevie and Mick make it sound like Lindsey is really cheap. I'd guess he probably still had a most of all the money he earned from 1975-1997, up until the time he met his bride. Of course, marrying Kristen and starting a family increased his expenses. However, unlike John (whose house must have been falling down to sell for as little as it did in the California market), LB was able to sell his house on the hill for a fortune, which probably helped offset some of the costs for the new cheaper house and subsequent renovations.

Lindsey cheap? Surely you jest! Only a cheap person would wear the same T-shirt every night for 9 months in a row, or put up their houseguests in a trailer on the property. Lindsey would never do such a thing!
