I read that she earns at least $3M, every Christmas, on royalties for that ONE song.
Not sure if I have the number correct....something to that effect.
I wonder if Walter earns that much, as well.
Walter, as co-writer, gets half of the writers’ royalties.
“I wonder if Walter earns that much, as well.”
Probably less, because he just has the writing credit, where she gets royalties from the recordings as well.
This 2022 article says she earns 400,00 British pounds ($482,000) per year on it. Still, nice piece of change.
Walter’s extreme sour grapes are not very becoming, are they? What a grouch. In music, there have always been winners and losers. The stars make all the big money and the studio musicians, producers, sound engineers, and song writers are quietly laboring in the background, grinding things out day-to-day, and making a living.
I often groused about no-talent execs in the companies I worked at, but somehow they rose to the top and made the big bucks.
That’s the way of the world.
