How much do IDM artists make, on average? Is Squarepusher rich, or does he just make enough to get by? What about Rephlex artists?

RDJ is extremely well off. I often quote him from one of his interviews when he says that he has considered taking a job at McDonald's because he's "Tired of not having to do anything he doesn't want to do."
I assume []pusher is in the same boat.

You know how RDJ often says stuff in interviews like, "I've written some big, famous pop songs, but I won't tell you which ones, tee hee..." Is that really, like, true? Anyway, aside from album sales (and I bet he makes as much as anyone does in his "field"), he licenses his music to commercials and stuff, right?
Anyway, this is a good question... I often wonder that about "famous" people in general, who are more "independent"... Though I guess Aphex is big-time in the UK, like Oasis-level, huh?
