Pb Derigable Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I know they have more money then 98% of the world, but really how much. Sir Paul had 500 million one time, but i don't think anybody in zep ever even break 50 million. I Just want to see how they stack up agaist other band in this era. I would like to think the greatest band ever has more money then some of these idiots today. I not trying to invade their personal lives but i dont even had the slightest clue.

Cactus Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Edited for accuracy; I looked this up: Site In Apr 2007 it was estimated Page/Plant were worth 70 million pounds EACH. How JPJ & the Bonhams stack up I don't know, but I suppose Jimmy receives more royalties than the others and Plant has had the most successful solo career so that's why they are even.

Pb Derigable Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks. I think they all must split it up evenly. It also states that the amount that is given is all public record (i.e. Stock, land, bussiness) it does not include any private accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1ZeppelinFan Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I've always understood Page was worth much more than Plant as he produces almost if not everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've always understood Page was worth much more than Plant as he produces almost if not everything? There's that and the fact he's also been in the business longer. He's owned several more properties, has a huge collection of guitars, rare antiques and Crowley artifacts. He's also tight with a buck LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also states that the amount that is given is all public record (i.e. Stock, land, bussiness) it does not include any private accounts. No, they don't split it up evenly. Jimmy, as producer of the band, gets a whole different income for that. Anyway, I've heard some things I can't really post, but suffice it to say all things are not equal. In some cases widely so. I should add that it's not just about income from Zeppelin. It's about investments over the years. I could win the lottery tomorrow and be a multi-millionaire, invest badly, and be destitute in a decade or less. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's always a possibility in any instance.

I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's always a possibility in any instance. I would imagine there are several different incomes for them - Songwriter's royalties, album sales (incl DVDs), etc etc. Jimmy produced the albums, the DVDs and has a writing credit on almost every song, so he would have the most. Working on that logic, the Bonham estate would have the least. In the book on Peter Grant, his son Warren said they have a tidy income stream but not enough to make them millionaires.

Pb Derigable Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I know Jimmy got extra for producer, but doesn't Plant, Jones, and Bohnham got the same amount, no matter who got the credits? I know most bands don't do it this way, but i always thought zep did. I read about somewhere, and that fact that jonsey mention that if he had to do one thing over, it was to get more song credits along with bonzo, but he wasn't talking about money, just recognition. Even the fact they all have to agree on something before anything can be done. I know they got paid on album sales but if you say you get 1 point for each song credit. Led Zeppelin III Page 9 credits Plant 8 credits JPJ 3 credits Bonzo 1 credit 21 credits and just for easy sake thats 5% a credit so does Jimmy get 45%(plus producer) Plant 40% JPJ 15% Bonzo 5% of the money or it gets divided up evenly. I'm talking about zep share of album sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 No, they were not evenly distributed. It was as you described, based on credits. However, things like concert receipts and merchandising are separate stories as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainsbarre Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Just keep checking The Times Rich List each year... I think in 2005 The Times estimated the wealth of both Plant and Page at about £45 to £50 million. Every year The Times does its 1000 richest Britons and usually with Plant and Page in the list, although not JPJ or Bonham estate, and usually with all the members of Pink Floyd on there too.

See this is why i think they did split the money for the albums, because of this exact reason. They have a high royalty rate and they are only 4 members. It's not only that Pink Floyd has more, but there is alot more bands ahead of Page and Plant. I understand that Page was the producer and Plant had a solo carerer. But if they did get most of the money they would have alot more then Pink Floyd at least. Due to inflation i could see a difference between todays stars and yesterdays stars. Maybe they did credits off of albums sales, but maybe it was a lower percentage of the actual payout. They did not like to at the beginning to give other people credit for their music so maybe they dropped the percentage down to keep more money. Page and plant both went through a divorce. Maybe the trusted the wrong people with their money or that they have their money in private accounts wich does not count towardst the list.

NickZepp Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Robert Plant has to be pretty well set from his solo career also. It's obvious that Page and Plant get the most money of the band members. JPJ and Bonham's families are both set a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you netted 5,000,000.00 from the lottery, would you really need to invest it in anything risky? A conservative investment in the bond market would probably return enough interest to live comfortably and there would be NO risk of losing your principle. The problem is a lot of people get needlessly greedy and starting employing risky investment plans. Having proper asset allocation is also a good concept to employ and substantially reduces risk. Let me know if you need any help, I'm pretty good with this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

led zep maniack Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I know that paul mccartney is close to being a billionaire but his divorce will knock that down some.

purdieshuffle Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 can you imagine the ticket reciepts if zeppelin was playing stadium shows at 80-200 dollars a ticket, like the stones do nowadays...they made their millions on selling out shows that cost as little as 7 bucks a ticket ( in the late 60's) to probably no more than 30 or 40 at knebworth....that's a lot of money.
