All that's left to deduct, as mentioned, is personal income tax which will each a fair chunk.. Still, I'm sure they are sitting very comfy after this tour. Their kids should all have a hefty college fund lol
An interesting comparison is U2's 360 tour. Because the daily overhead was $175,000 and their 3 stages supposedly cost 30 million each to build (I suspect it was 30 mill total) they didn't actually break even until long into the tour. Of course they can well afford to lose money on a tour ( as they did on Popmart) so I'm not defending them. And they did make shitloads in the end. I can't find what the total net was though. It grossed highest of any tour to date.
On the opposite spectrum I'm thinking of smaller artists who would make the 45k or less, and then they have to live off that until their next album release. I guess that explains why they have to tour constantly when starting out.
