cooker Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Axl doesn't have multiple divorces under his belt and the GN'R name to hang his wallet on. Not that I trust these figures anyway. Hell I don't even think he had to pay half to divorce Erin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donny Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 his extra cash cant be from the GNR name because they all get the same royalties. remember the steve adler court case ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-W.A.R- Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Adler worth 15 million? get out of here noway. He was flat broke when he sued and he probably smoked up all the settlement money. i'd be surprised if he was worth 1m i can buy Slash and Duff being worth that much as Slash has whored himself out and Duff is a sound businessman....Axl may be a bit high Edited April 15, 2016 by -W.A.R- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xBrownstonex Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Talked to a woman after the first vegas show who used to book their tours in the 90s. She said axl has 3 mortgages to pay. Dont know how accurate that is. She also said money is the main reason for this. But i dont wanna believe her Edited April 14, 2016 by xBrownstonex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changes Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't think that should be interpreted as cash but as total value of assets. And the GNR name would be a very valuable asset. Normally you value assets like that by calculating and discounting possible future cash flows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarjr Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I thought Duff was the richest member because of his investments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Axl toured a lot, he got most of the money in merchandise sales for the new logo, his property is worth a ton, but I don't think he's as high as they say he is. I think they are crediting him for all of GNR's royalties. I'd estimate Axl is closer to 50 mil than 150 mil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 the only way I can see it is if new guns banked alot in the 300+ shows they performed over 10 years, Slash has been touring constantly but in small venues so he could only be getting 50k a gig max, where as Axl is probably get 250k or more per gig in arenas and even more in europe/south america plus 100% of merch sales. throw in some investments and property could get him up there. but I would say more in the 50-75 million would be accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Slash is a shrewd businessman - much shrewder than he likes to make known. It would not surprise me if he was about on par with Axl. Axl got a wad of cash from Best Buy and from his South American shows but not much else really since the old band folded. You also have to factor in law fees and the overheads for his inflated entourage of penis lickers, Brazilians and musical hirelings. I mean how much does it cost to ship Jarmo around the world on VIP express? Slash and his Conspirators have a minimum production. Duff's is higher also I bet as he is another one who is canny with his pounds and pence - a degree on the subject no less. I bet Slash got a bucketload of cash for the Michael Jackson stints and the Super Bowl. Edited April 15, 2016 by DieselDaisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) I don't trust these figures overall. Teah, as someone else said, Duff knows how to invest his money; I would imagine that figure is a bit larger for him. As for Axl? Dude probably has some very good accountants and investments; he doesn't have ex-wives; etc. 15% royalties from AfD and Lies alone have been enough to sustain Adler. Axl, Slash, Duff and Izzy all get larger percentages of royalties from those albums plus the two UYIs, and then there's Live Era, Greatest Hits, various DVDs and licensing from the merch and commercial use of the music and such. Royalties are down now, but those albums and songs still do sell and get licensed, and if one put away one's money from that or invested it wisely it could probably go a long way.
