From what I understand he owns a lot of property in Manhattan. Not cheap shit either. Like buildings on Houston St. down by LaGuardia, Thompson, Sullivan, the Angelika theatre, that part of the world.

<p>I can say with almost no hesitation he makes more then 1 million a year.&nbsp; If you factor in royalites, cd sales, concert money, merchandise, real estate (yes he does own a lot), etc.</p><p>800k would be a joke for someone of his stature and has 37 albums that have hit Gold status or above.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
