Net worth can also include business ventures and other streams of revenue.

I'm surprised at the difference between Axl and Slash. I thought all Slash's endorsements (wasn't he involved in that Guitar Hero game?) and other musical projects (last time I checked, Velvet Revolver had sold more than a handful of albums and tours) would have put him a lot closer.

Actually, I would've guessed that he would have been worth a lot more than Axl.

While Slash did more musically for GNR, it's Axl's name on all of those song royalty contracts.

Always wondered about the people in the 700 million dollar kinda area. Once you hit the 10 - 20 million mark or so . . . how much difference in your life is an extra couple hundred mil really going to make?

Depends on whether you prefer houses, or islands.

Tom Morello surprised me more than anyone. I guess he made alot of wise investments in something. Surely Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave didn't net him that much money.

Peter Criss surprised the hell out of me as well. Maybe he made alot of bad investments?

[Chris of Arabia]

Hmmm... no Dave Gilmour, he must be worth a few quid.

Edit: $130m

All you had to do was look him up in the link I provided.

David Gilmour - 130 million
Roger Waters - 145 million, and there's no telling what that will climb to once he finishes up his The Wall Tour.

[Chris of Arabia]

Geddy Lee $28m
Alex Lifeson $28
Neil Peart $22

Those few major chords sure have paid of rather nicely.

Angus Young - 140 million
Malcolm Young - 100 million
Brian Johnson - 90 million

WOW

Seeing as how they only have about ten songs, that's between 10 and 14 million per tune. Not a bad day's work.

[gvis]

Bono trumps that list at 900 million.

That dude cracks me up.

Wow!! I didn't know Chaz made that much for doing Dancing With The Stars.

Lol...that's hilarious. It never bothered me that they didn't change their sound...because they got it right from the very beginning...and because they don't care, which makes it even better.

Who the f is Chaz? Have I been living on another planet? Sorry, I don't watch that show.

David Bowie $215m
Robbie Williams $140m
George Michael $90m
Bruno Mars $8m

How many millions of dollars can one guy make on a tour? I'd guess he makes way more on investments, licensing and royalties than he does on touring.

The Dave Matthews figure is the one that stuck out to me. Sure he was popular and all but he must be really good with money, too. It kind of makes me appreciate that he played at our AAA baseball stadium a couple years ago. He apparently wasn't hard up for cash, he did it to play music for his fans.
