Has mister Richard been selling enough records to be rich or is he living out of a medium salary? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he must be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He makes all his money from selling software/hardware he made and patented to large companies. That's what he told my mate, anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? Artist don't make that much money yunno, only if they're really succesfull. And you can't say Richard isn't exactly climbing the charts is he...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, "and you can't say Richard is climbing the charts can you...?" |
||||||||

after drukqs i think he has a famous live. the whole afx hip came with drukqs, too late... i mean it's not usual that artist has several pseudo's, but it seems to be a strategy for earning more money ... |
||||||||

I think he makes alot of money from live shows/DJing and remixing + he gets payed everytime one of his tracks apear in a comercial or movie. And he is the biggest selling EEM artist isn't he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Easily. The only reason warp records is so big is because they live off his releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
....and its nothing to do with seminal releases by other artists on the label in the early 90's........? Aphex just added to their success, he didn't make them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well he bought a bank and co-owns a record label,so he must be-I think hes very rich,the windowlicker vid. cost around £150,000 they dont spend that unless they have a lot of money,and will get a shit load back. But then again he may still pick up his Giro. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed, Ben. With his large discography he must be doing pretty fine. People buy his stuff all the time. Not just the latest releases. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True, but hes the guy that is keeping them in the black at the moment. I doubt they are still running off LFO and nightmares on wax albums. |
||||||||

I'm in grammar hell. Need sleep. mmM..sleep.. |
||||||||

|
|
i read that he got 100.000$ for one track that he sold to some company in US and he bought a building in london, which probably wasn't cheap |
||||||||

|
|
so no-one around here believes that this man is not so rich at all? Me.... yeah I think he's rich, but not extremely... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I'd say the man's definately got some pocket change. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is extremely? im pretty sure he's got more than a million |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Definetly a millionaire |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno, I don't really know anything about salary and all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, rich is hard to define, but being able to retire in your twenties should qualify: rumour has it the pirelli and orange adverts netted him six figure sums each: if not rich he is certainly good for a few drinks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll retire in my thirties-hopefully :) and im no millionare |
||||||||
|
|

To quote Kirk Douglas in the 1992 movie, Greedy... "I'm richer than shit". |

i might've seen that one is michael j fox inthere? |

"I doubt they are still running off LFO and nightmares on wax albums." Actually, I think the level of consistent respect both these artists get means they're still getting a constant flow of money (even if its not huge). This is as new people are introduced to the scene and these are namedropped. I think Carboot Soul was probably one of their biggest sellers (?), and yet thats not new. Anyway, I don't see Warp as one main artist being Aphex, warp is a collective of artists, each successful in their own right, whether that's monetary or otherwise. I'd say that boards more than aphex will/have more commercial success since i've seem them everywhere, and when you're getting rave reviews by big papers like Sunday Times you gotta know they're onto something big. Boards have a much broader appeal and there's a much wider oppurtunity for licencing for adverts etc (BMW anyone?), whereas aphex would be/is popular with the younger people. Artists on Warp won't be hugely successful in the mainstream, but they've found enough of a niche way back in the early 90's to be firmly established now. As for Aphex's wealth, I wouldn't like to speculate on an exact sum but he'll be a millionaire. Also, I can only see this expanding with the skater/alternative culture catching onto it. |

ben's right, even if they're not so popular now they still sold a ton of albums, a lot more than the flavors of the month at warp (not that those albums aren't great as well). the new NoW album hasn't come out yet, you don't know that it won't sell. as for lfo, i dunno when his album's coming out but i wouldn't pity him, he has lots of money and his music keeps getting better and better (although of course different from his old stuff). |
||||||||

|
|
i've heard mixed views of george evelyns new stuff (even though i'm a huuge fan)...warp are apparently sending me a free cd due to a mailing list fuck up :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I read in an interview from about a year ago that he has well over a million in the bank. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he makes a lot more money than the average musician. read this... http://www.arancidamoeba.com/mrr/problemwithmusic.html ...and then consider that richard's cut is not split among bandmates, managers or producers and he doesn't owe the label for studio time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Millinoare,drives tank,own very large old bank in central london(half a mill to buy!),all albums,money from record label he part owns,gigs,commercials on t.v.He has a lot of listeners hid away buying albums ect. Oh yeah he HAS money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and if he runs out of it he just sells some unreleased tracks and everyones happy again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to live in a big house in a nice area of london, half a million isn't much at all.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought he lived in elephant & castle which is a pretty shity area... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but i'm referring to the fact that half a million in london isn't much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah of course. and note that he lives there out of choice not out of lack of financial backing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Eh ? I thought Rephlex had finanical Problems ? But anyway, I think he makes most of his money from Live Gigs n SHit ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, that's planet mu though I very much doubt rephlex is raking it in either |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he made lots of cash from licensing a choon to pirelli, as well as virgin. aphex isn't a band, so there's nobody to split the loot with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Elephant & castle is a shitty shopping centre... and Walworth (to the south) is a ghetto. But up the Kennington Road (west of there) there are some huge 4 storey Edwardian/Victorian pads which must be £450,000 a pop. he aint dumb :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A but does the twin really give a toss about living in the lap of luxury as far as living quarters are concerned ? Personally I can't see Richie in an edwardian mansion. I see him living in a fucking tip. A chaotic mess of junk and cables ! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was once said in an NME interview that he earned £65,000 for DJ'ing in Brazil Don't know whther that is true...but thats a hell of a lot of money |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theres no evidence really i there? id like to see that nme article and the info about those ads though, its pretty interesting to me. i reckon he'll be very wadded though given all the factors said in this post. |

nostalgic thread! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which one of those people were you then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the walls have ears! (and a moustache, sometimes) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he must be loaded, he bought a tank. you wouldnt buy a tank unless you could afford to really waste your money on expensive useless gifts for yourself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course he is fuckingly rich. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Richie lives in a bank, he must be rich. That's to all the guys from 2002 aswell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not a tank per se anyway its like an armoured road vehicle and that was years ago.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
