Good for Steve Perry. He doesn't seem extravagant like a lot of famous singers/musicians. He has said in interviews that he can only live in one house at a time and drive only one car at a time. He also doesn't have multiple ex-wives. Steve is an excellent singer and song writer and deserves everything he has. He has certainly earned it!
Steve has always been the most grounded. He has always been the Brains in the Band. His grandfather told him as a kid it's not how much you make.Its how much you save. Steve listened very well. He is so smart when it's about business. He is financially independent for the rest of his life. He is living the American Dream. That he has so rightfully deserves. I will love and Respect him Forever and Always. With much Love from Ohio 💞🎵🎶🎤🔥❤️💎💯✨⚡💥🧨😘🥰🌹🌹👑👑
I think Steve Perry is worth more because: - According to Steve himself, his grandfather taught him to always save Half of everything dollar he made. - He doesn’t have ex-wives and a lot children that he has to pay for. - He’s not out buying extremely expensive cars for himself and his wife. The bottom line is Steve seems to be very wise regarding financial matters. Although Steve is not releasing an album every year or touring, he seems to be staying involved in the music industry through a variety of projects with other musicians and bands, as well as remastering various songs/albums from the Journey catalog as requested by Sony Music or perhaps other companies.
And it doesn't hurt that he gets royalties from every song that Journey plays that he was involved with which when they're on tour I would say is 99% of them. So he sits back and collects.
Steve Perry is grounded, plus he had an ideal contract because he was smart enough to get a good lawyer to protect his interests. Otherwise, the band would have screwed him over. Most Journey fans still want to listen to the classic album era, when SP was the lead vocalist. The other albums are just for completest collectors only.
An enormous part of the value that site builds in is future earning potential. Steve Perry is the only member of the band that still owns his share of song rights. Right now that is a huge asset that probably accounts for much, if not all of the difference.
If you look at the current Journey set list, all the songs on it are from the Steve Perry era, so he deserves a cut of the tour revenue. Also, royalties: Steve is credited on almost every song from when he was with Journey, while the other guys have fewer song credits. He also has more coming from his solo career.
I know Neil doesn’t think Steve is entitled to the money that the group is making but you may have heard of a little band called Queen. Their original bass player is a guy named John Deacon who is a multi millionaire not only from residuals from his part in writing their songs, but he also benefits from the fact that Queen are still touring without him. Steve co wrote many of Journey’s songs and was the reason why they finally made it big as a group. Both Steve and John were absolutely done with the rock star lifestyle but that in no way takes away from their contribution in making the group a success. Listen, there’s enough money to go around for everyone and they are still deserving.
SP said in earlier interviews that he's not or was not in it for the money. It was a job, and he just wanted to do it to the best of his ability!!! He's got grandchildren, so they'll be set, as well as his non-profits that he works with. He was brilliant at the "signed agreement. " Not to mention, he has all his side hustles that he has been part of!!! God bless him!!! 🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤
I expect the numbers are not really accurate. Still love Mr. Perry, just helped with a small donation to his Farm Aid project in early December. Any money he receives in royalties from Journey is well deserved in my opinion.
But it’s not new. Back then when they were together, Steve wanted to take more time between tours and have something like a normal life too and supposedly that didn’t work for the rest of the band because they needed more money to keep their rockstar lifestyle. Steve has always lived a kind of low profile life and saved his money since the beginning. His grandfather taught him that what’s important “it’s not the money you make but the money you save”
He's always seemed to be smart with his money . The fact that he hasn't "needed" to tour for the past decades says a lot . In comparison i couldn't believe that Neal sold all his main guitars , he used on Infinity and Escape . When he's been touring solid for over 20 years , and playing good size venues .
We love Steve Perry he deserves all the money he gets . Steve Perry was journey , l only love Steve Perry not the rest of journey that’s my opinion Steve got the greatest voice ! Happy holidays 🎄🙋🏻♀️😊
He's a down to earth person I think . life isn't all about money cars homes. He's set in life He earned every penny.He should be getting payed for all the songs he wrote with the hand. Steve doesn't have to worry Niel will be on stage till he is 90.so now ......who works for who.ha ha ha ha ha ha
So does anyone know how to find that whole Dan Rather interview? I can never find the whole thing just bits and pieces on UA-cam and DAVE you were saying there’s a added piece to it.
Hey, Dave! You popped up on my suggested videos. I wondered where you migrated to. Anyway, did you hear that Voyage is replacing Hugo? Wondered if you had any insight about that.
Another really great band that quit at the top were Adam and the Ants. Although Adam went on to have a marginally successful solo career, he was never able to capture the success of the Ants. Kings of the Wild Frontier is a GREAT album!
That’s a sad, if not an outright untrue number, all things considered. Hell - members of Pearl Jam are worth as much or more. There’s no rhyme or reason to that math.
Definitely deserving cause Mr perry working Hurd for this band already promise special singer forever Soo sweet smooth sounds already The Golden voice The journey Man legend perry forever no other done Steve perry anymore promise ❤❤❤❤
Money can't buy uou happiness! Look at Sam Walton who made Walmart? He buit Walmart fom his Arkansas drug store! My late uncle was deat friends with him! He died a billionaire! He lived a huble simple life snd still do e his old pick up truck, wore hunting boots, and live in the same old house. Ypu dont have to have fancy cars, houss and material things its being thankful.
Well he certainly didn't give it away either. And don't mention charities: they do those for tax breaks. His "good old boy" persona was part of his brand. I'm not saying he wasn't a good man but he was still a businessman through and through. They all are.
No cuz Jesus is the reason for the season and he is in everything honey everything the reason why you're breathing and people need to realize that❤ amen God is here and he always will be funky father God for everything you've done in my life and I so appreciate this opportunity to express our feelings you're the best baby thank you Jesus y'all stay safe out there may God keep you under the shadow of his wings forever and ever amen❤🙏🙏😇😇 people need to keep in mind if they're ashamed of Jesus I'm a Jesus freak myself I love the Lord thy God and I will tell any and whoever is around me because if you deny God Aurora a shame of talking are spreading his gospel the Lord will be ashamed of you and that would be a very very very very very very very very very very sad day that person's book c I love all people and I pray that everybody gets saved you know unfortunately I don't think it's going to be like that does cuz he didn't go to that cross to be in vain he went to that cross for a reason because he knew what was coming he made it people's got to study to realize everything in that Bible is from the top of your head to the bottom of your toes you just got to find it if you have an answer about something or a question excuse me not to answer you can find it in the Bible and the Lord will answer it for you I promise you he will it goes deep you got to study study if you're hungry the Lord will feed you but you got to want it within the depths of your heart and soul and you will shine like the pure holy God that he intended it for everybody to be you will shine and everybody will know that you belong to the Lord thy God and that's where we come from that shows lesson for today I will get back with you again soon may God bless thank you lolol true honesty truth I love my Jesus and I love my Steve Perry I put him right there with Jesus is and my daddy always and forever in my depths of my soul and heart amen thank you Jesus❤❤❤️🌹🙏😇🙏🙏
Steve Perry deserves every penny and more.

He's not a lavish spender and hasn't been married and divorced five times. He's much smarter than John and Neal about life choices and finances.
Steve is worth every penny. He wrote/co-wrote most of the music, along with contributing a voice like no other.

I’m definitely not surprised, because he’s a very CLEVER businessman.👍👍👍

I read that the other members of Journey actually sold their rights to Steve Perry because they needed the money at the time.

I think Kerry livgren Kansas has a similar arrangement too
Happy to see you Dave! Happy Holidays. And yes, Steve has humility. A beautiful attribute!

My guess is that estimate is incorrect,he’s worth more ❤😂

Smart move Perry.
He's a down to earth person I think . life isn't all about money cars homes. He's set in life He earned every penny.He should be getting payed for all the songs he wrote with the hand. Steve doesn't have to worry Niel will be on stage till he is 90.so now ......who works for who.ha ha ha ha ha ha
This is why I don’t think Steve Perry will ever rejoin Journey.
Publishing money is huge when you write and perform nets huge!
Thanks for the recomendation of NATIONWIDE. great band! I had to go order that one. keep up the great work! Cheers!
I never wanna make a contract with Steve Perry may not have a home to go home too!! good work, Dave thanks
"I never want to"..
Big fan for years Dave!
Glad to finally be able to message you!👍
Steve have store and has additional records, commercial, he a song writer, has contribution with others people.
AMEN !
That's because he doesn't have a spending problem or a wife
Dave, the famous deal that SP made that kept him making money: that deal couldn’t have gone through if the other guys hadn’t signed off on it, right?
So does anyone know how to find that whole Dan Rather interview? I can never find the whole thing just bits and pieces on UA-cam and DAVE you were saying there’s a added piece to it.
Hey, Dave! You popped up on my suggested videos. I wondered where you migrated to. Anyway, did you hear that Voyage is replacing Hugo? Wondered if you had any insight about that.
Oh my God, I wish I could send this to telegram to someone
Another really great band that quit at the top were Adam and the Ants. Although Adam went on to have a marginally successful solo career, he was never able to capture the success of the Ants. Kings of the Wild Frontier is a GREAT album!
Adam Ant.
Maybe Steve Perry should teach a finance course to kids most schools and parents sure dont.
That’s a sad, if not an outright untrue number, all things considered. Hell - members of Pearl Jam are worth as much or more. There’s no rhyme or reason to that math.
Definitely deserving cause Mr perry working Hurd for this band already promise special singer forever Soo sweet smooth sounds already The Golden voice The journey Man legend perry forever no other done Steve perry anymore promise ❤❤❤❤
Goodness! Can you please use punctuation??
Agree nope not everyone can sing for Journey
horsey girl, was it 50%?
I thought that it was 10%? Not saying that I couldn’t be wrong…it happens.

Steve wont ever tour and Ty will not coming back to heartland. Ty is dead.
Compared to Jon Bon Jovi it’s peanuts
That's just estimated net worth its not liquid they don't have much cash in the bank its all based on phantom assets
It's astonishing how inaccurate these estimates are
