I dont know, but as I said in the other thread, I beleive he is making most of his Money from DJ Gigs.
He doesnt have to be Ultra Rich, if he can live off his savings, I guess its all good

I hear he's funding a crack unit of Guerillas in the heart of America, trying to topple any fascist dictatorships in the US.
Good luck to him I say.

ok, so if (for example, let's say) drukqs sold 300,000 copies, how much would he earn persoally from that? 1 pound a copy maybe? still a lot of money

Maybe he is. Lots of people have been labouring under the impression that Jesus was white (and the KKK crack me up, cos they claim to be christian, yet their "saviour" wouldn't be allowed into their organization, and would probably be a target)

He is by far the most succesful within his field. He headlined Reading's Dance venue!
In my opinion he deserves it.

He has a field? Does Earthleakage feed there? I have a field, but it's not very successful - all I have are some turnips and a lame donkey. No, I DON'T have any rhubarb

76, but 5 people returned their copies after realising they had bought CD's and not crack cocaine.

i doubt he makes much all that much from his records, especially in the last five years.... i thought he made the money to live off of from was "DJ" appearances at festivals and some nice cheques from selling his tracks for promotional use.... in terms of the actual music business, Richard has been a stubborn idiot, he could have done so much more with little effort and made some easy money........ why does everybody make such a big fucking deal over money with RDJ... hell, if someone PAID you to go to a party to dick around, you would take the money too....

he makes money off of DJ appearences and remixes. his host of pseudonyms probably helps matters, as well as the occasional advert.
i don't think his albums are raking in the cash, seeing as Sire supposedly cancelled all ambient projects after SAW2 bombed. His other albums probably sold much better, but his main income is from alternative methods.

Just a bit of curiousity about what earthleakage posted way up the page - is that about right, that an artist makes around a pound on each album copy sold? I've always wondered about that.
