Post Jon/Dave/Richie/Tico net worth

This article was posted yesterday, which I find quite interesting...if it's accurate..

https://sleazeroxx.com/who-is-the-80...est-net-worth/

01. $410 million — Jon Bon Jovi (Bon Jovi, solo)
08. $120 million — David Bryan (Bon Jovi)
10. $100 million — Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)
25. $20 million — Tico Torres (Bon Jovi)

Richie was always up the top of this list, and I expect if he was still in the band he'd be higher up, his income has obviously taken a hit since leaving (not that he seems to be hurting on it), but I'm surprised that Dave has jumped up ahead of him. Sure he's got the touring income from the last few years, but as someone that is a co-writer on most Jovi tunes I'd have expected the song writing royalties to have kept him up there. I guess songwriters are really taking a hit with the streaming royalties these days being so poor...I also expect that Richie probably lost money on the RSO project.

But what's even more surprising is that Dave is worth $100million more than Tico? Either Tico got seriously screwed in a divorce, or Dave has made some seriously smart investments (or Tico some very bad ones). I'm not sure his musicals have made him that much money? But I don't know...surely as far as his part in the band goes Dave doesn't get paid a whole heap more than Tico?

I have no idea how much money David has made with his musicals but I am sure Richie was payed much more than David and Tico because he co wrote all the songs and is the only Bon Jovi member that is known to the wider public.
So I assume that the gap between David and Tico is down to the musicals because I think it is possible that Richie got 5 times more than the other guys in the band.

I'm sure his musicals have contributed to that. But maybe he got a raise, too, when he stepped up to fill the gap after Richie left...

ETA: If I'm not mistaken, in Rich Bozette's book, he had pictures of contracts signed in 1986 that showed Tico was actually getting a bigger cut than David. I think both Richie and Tico got 1% while David and Alec got O.5% each.

I would assume the others got raises when Richie left too, yeah. These numbers are always questionable. I THINK Tico has been divorced twice? Is that right?

Memphis did VERY well, I'd attribute most of the gap to that.

Joe Elliot having 70 Million and Phil having 20 is really strange. They both were in the band when it exploded too.

£100 million though? That's a big gap. Did the musical really make him more money than he made in the band? A lot more??

Yes, I thought that too, although Phil has had at least a couple of divorces too. Strange that Vivian, who wasn't a member of the band when they were at their most successful is on the same level as Phil too...Phil is a major songwriter in the band too, along with Joe.

Good points. Yeah there's too many weird placements on this list for me to think it's legit. Richie's royalties alone on Prayer should put him above David.

At 3:30 Howard said that Richie and Jon take the majority of the money and they were basically accepting that as a fact in my opinion.
I always thought it was like Jon 70% Richie 25% and the other guys split the rest up.

I think it's about external business too, so that could explain it. since Jon, Richie and Dave possibly have some successful businesses in stocks.

From what I could find online, it looks like Tico's been divorced 3 times: 1985 from Sharon, 1998 from Eva, and 2007 from Maria Alejandra. But on another thread, someone said that Tico got divorced in 2012, so I don't know if the info I found was incorrect or if there was a 4th divorce.

According to Playbill, Memphis grossed $104,453,830 before it closed on Broadway in August, 2012. The Dramatists Guild requires that writers are guaranteed a minimum of 15.56% of the profits before recoupment until the play starts showing a profit, and then it's upped to 17.78% of the profits. That amount is split among the composer, lyricist, and librettist/book writer. Since David was composer/lyricist and DiPietro was book writer/lyricist, I would imagine that (at least) those amounts were split evenly between them. But even with them taking it to London after the Broadway run, plus the licensing for touring shows, TV broadcasts, the movie, and soundtrack, I still don't see how that would have made a dent in a $100 million dollar difference between David and Tico.

I did see contradictory information about Tico's net worth from various reports. Most of them had $20m; a few had $40m as far back as 2012, up through one that was supposedly updated in 2019. But some of the same sites showed David's net worth at $85m, as of early 2017, which would have been well after Memphis closed, and in 2019 it was $120m.
