Generating $2 billion in music sales doesn’t mean she pockets that. I’m pretty sure when I was youth the rule of thumb was recording artists would make roughly £1 per album sold as that would have made her about £335 million from albums. Then of course you have to tax that, feed her managers and staff etc etc Yes, I know exactly what generating means. Warner gave Madonna a huge amount of leeway though in over to keep her over the years. She owns the publishing rights on almost everything she’s ever released, has written almost everything she’s ever released and made sure that whatever she recorded, her label only ever owned the songs she submitted to them and that could only ever release music in a format she agreed. That is why we never see expanded or special versions of her previous albums - Warner doesn’t own anything else to put on them. No outtakes, no unreleased songs, no demos... nothing. Plus even if they did, their agreement with Madonna is that she must approve also approve any new compilation album or revised track list of existing releases. Rumour has it she’s either buy or in the process of buying her masters back from them too. There’s some copyright law in the US that means you can buy them back after 35 years or something. Her gross ticket sales are also in excess of $1.1 billion too. I might be misquoting the specifics here, but I’m fairly sure Madonna takes home 80% of every ticket sold and then pays out her bills from that etc (starting with Sticky and Sweet). Are they two of her children?? |

But her art collection is an investment and she will most likely see a considerable profit if she ever decides to bank it.
I think it's fair to say... she's loaded.

My mate on the crew posted a pretty seething few lines on Facebook from Paris in response to an article about the opening night delay there of 4.5hrs. I’m guessing he wont be sad when the tour is over.
“Making us work 4 18hr days in a row to squeeze this into a venue she wanted and then blaming her late arrival on us. Classic move from the ex Queen of pop.”

It seems that not only does she have no respect for her audiences but now her crew also! I cannot understand all these years being late on stage. No one else seems to do it and the my time is more valuable than yours attitude really stinks.

If it's any consolation apparently she went to sit on a chair on stage last night and missed it completely and fell flat on her arse... |

Very poor show to blame the crew for her own time-keeping diva-dom! |
