How does he have so much money? He has like 3 good songs.
>>
apparently euros worship him as some sort of god.
>>
don't forget the royalties for take that
>>
>>131664092
Isis, fuck you.
>>
>>131664092
other musicians might be bigger, but Robbie... he monkey
>>
His monkey movie made a billion and he got to keep 1/3 of the money.
>>
At the peak of his career he had a lot of money and bought some huge mansion in the UK. That's probably most of his wealth.

But these estimations are probably inflated. For example Cobain's estate is worth 450 million but his daughter only gets like 100 000 bucks per month and is at most a millionaire (about 10m worth).

So I doubt he has that money. It might include what he could get if he sold all the rights to his catalog and his mansion etc.

>>131664092
Zoomers will never be able to grasp how this nigga was bigger than Jesus, MJ and Madonna combined in 2000-2001 so le monke movie got that part right
>>
>>131666271
Nigger, his movie did not make 1 billion dollars
>>
>>131664092
>He has like 3 good songs.
Feel
Angels
She's the One
Let Me Entertain You
Old Before I Die
Millennium
Kids
Come Undone

These all range from good to great. That's more good songs than any new pop artist has had for the last 25+ years. Plus he was part of Britain's biggest boy band in the early 90s.
>>
he was a gigantic star everywhere except the us for a while back there
>>
>>131664092
This guy does not exist in America. He has zero foot print here.

no chance he made that amount from his music (or his movie).
some other revenue source, if that amount is real.

>>131666271
>His monkey movie made a billion
didn't even make $2 million

Worldwide TOTAL
$22,549,151

He got like a huge fucking record deal just before his career tanked in the early 00s.
>>
>>131664092
He was big in my country, I always thought it was the shittiest music I'd ever heard. i was like 5 when he was massive and I hated it.
>>
>>131668135
That's not going to get him anywhere near $300 million.
That's Bieber territory.
And Bieber is one of the Top 5 most-streamed artists on the planet.

Global streams
Bieber............................80,456,210,510
Robbie Williams...............4,932,551,784
Take That..........................1,780,402,482

Quick search reveals nothing that can explain Willians having that kind of money, outside the standard "music, touring, and some real estate transactions" line.
Idk. Probably an exaggeration for publicity.
>>
>>131668212
The deal alone was 80 millions. Thats pretty close to 1/3 of 300 millions and like i said that was just shortly before his career tanked in the early 00s.
Also why do post stream numbers. Robbie Williams peak was at the end of the 90s. Of course his streaming numbers aren't close to Justin Bieber.

Maybe in your mind.

he played knebworth in 2003 tf you on about his career tanked in the early 00s?
>>
>>131668275
>Robbie Williams peak was at the end of the 90s.
I didn't know that's when he was popular, sorry.
As for record deals, they're like sports contracts: you almost always have to hit a bunch of goals to get the full amount (X number of streams within this timesframe, etc etc).
not saying he didn't accomplish those goals and make the 80, tho.

still finding the $300m hard to believe and the only source for it seems to be unsubstantiated articles copying each other
>>
>>131668699
yeah its probably safer to say his career started tanking in the mid 00s or late 00s. i didn't remember exactly. and his peak was late 90s early 00s.

>>131668718
he was probably the biggest music star in europe during these times. if you are an american its hard to understand just how big he was.
>>
>>131667957
Because the US had Nsyc Backstreet Boys Timberlake etc. and John Mayer?
>>
>>131668836
also because his whole vibe doesnt make sense in american culture. from memory ricky martin was the closest thing in terms of market position in us pop music.
>>
You can go back to Elvis to the reason why he didn’t like the Beatles early and that was that he didn’t think the Beatles knew the US well enough and that they were probably cramping his style. Since after it they eventually went away from rock n roll and replaced it with more of The Beatles sound on the charts
>>
reminder that amerimutts discovered electronic music in 2010 when they first heard daft punk, which they laughably call "EDM"
>>
>>131669120
Probably true. There was people like Prodigy Aphex Twin, Atari Teenage Riot telling everyone on 120 minutes how lame the music they were listening to was and Skrillex way after that but never Europe's electronic music
>>
>>131664092
He was huge in the UK and the rest of Europe during the late '90s and the '00s.
6 of his albums are in the top 100 of the best selling albums ever in the UK. And those were all bought copies, not numbers pumped up by streamings.
>>
>>131667303
Literally nobody in the US knew he even existed before the monkey movie. Non-Americans think it's a shitposting meme, but it's actually the truth.
>>
>>131669120
>2010
One More Time was played constantly in the early 2000s, retard
>>
>>131669555
cody chill out broskie you got ap class tomorrow and miss weirderhorn is one hot babe
>>
I have never heard of this guy and looking him up I have never heard angels. I don't think Americans even know of this guys existence. This is extremely mid pop rock and sounds like something a church band would come up with.
>>
>>131668879
She bangs has a bunch of swing revival samples just like mambo no 5. We had a bunch op pop hits during that weird 90s swing shit. This guy is far more boring than ricky martin, it's just plain pop rock.
