Math?
2001 $14 million from two shows.
2009 (Randy Phillips) Michael would have made 50 million pounds from 10 shows alone.
50 million pounds equals $77 million US dollars.
Sorry but these numbers make no sense at all.
How the HELL would Michael Jackson be taking home 50M from 10 shows? Do you even know how many people can fit into the O2? Unless the ticket prices were averaging 250 pounds, that is utterly nonsensical.
O2 holds 20,000; assuming MJ's stage was miniscule (which it wasn't) and all seats would be used, they would need to sell all 20K seats at an average price of 250 pounds for the 10 SHOWS to bring revenues of 50M pounds.
Then we assume, AEG, the dancers, backup singers would all be working for free.
SMDH
If you were to assume MJ & AEG would each get 50M ...then tix average price would be 500 pounds. RIDICULOUS!!!!
