Rock Stars and Their Money
Around the world young people are spending unbelievable
sums of money listening to rock music.Forbes reports that at least
fifty rock stars have incomes between two million and six million
dollars per year.
“It doesn't make sense,” says Johnny Mathis,one of the
older music millionaires,who made a million dollars a year when
he was popular in the 1950s.“Performers aren't worth this kind of
money.In fact,nobody is.”
But the rock stars' admirers seem to disagree.Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records.They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.
Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many.In
1972 one of the luckiest was Kon Mclean,who wrote and sang “American Pie”.Mclean writes his own music,so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song.
Neil Young who performs in torn blue jeans,sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000,each of whom has paid five dollars for a ticket.After paying expenses,Young leaves with about $ 18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.
