A music industry case study (2 Viewers)

[RED(tape)MENACE]

I'd trust albini's figures as being closer to the average in this kind of case ( ie - where the band actually gets the chance to sell records before being dropped ).

The Balance Sheet: This is how much each player got paid at the end of the game.


Record company: $ 710,000
Producer: $ 90,000
Manager: $ 51,000
Studio: $ 52,500
Previous label: $ 50,000
Agent: $ 7,500
Lawyer: $ 12,000
Band member net income each: $ 4,031.25

The Jackass guys cribs was an usual bit of infotainment. Half them live like kings, half live in trucks, or basements or spend most of their time buying and destrying furniture.
