In my previous post i asked who gets the money from t-shirt purchases. Someone replied the band and that most of the money a band makes is from shirt purchases. Well that sounds like it can be true. But not for mainstream bands who are living the life in the lap of luxury. So how do they make their millions? Do the record companies cut them in on fatter profits all around the table? Do they get fat percentages from ticket sales, record sales, and merchandise? Or is it all from endorsements? Now michael jackson didnt make hundreds of millions of dollars off of t-shirts lol. So can somebody enlighten me?
