Corey Taylor on How Much Money Slipknot Really Makes

1. Those masks ain't cheap.

2. I don't believe him one bit. The other members definitely make way less, but Clown and Corey live incredibly well financially.

3. That's crazy yet you see pop stars and rappers spend crazy amounts of money at clubs, restaurants putting up party's and when they don't tour or make another successful album it goes away like that. So when I hear bands that struggle and say I made enough just to buy a home for my family I give them credit

4. yes feel sorry for me i only make 7 or 8 figures a year 😭 gtfo greedy mfs

5. Thats understandable with 9 guys in the band and tons of overhead🤑

6. Bruh can come work at chewy with me .

7. One thing to think about is as a partner of a band like slipknot you earn great money, but you are also required to reinvest that money back into things like recording, production and tours.
   lets have a guess, that the partners might make 15m a year each, but might have to put 12m back into the business to pay for all the greater band expenses.
   My back of the envelope guess is the partners make 3m a year profit, and those in the band who don't have partner status, probably make about 1m

8. I have the shirt too….

   Huh huh huh…… huh huh huh…..huh huh huh.

   🤣

9. Haha ok Corey

10. Most bands have 4 to 6 members.
    And people don't buy albums anymore Tickets and merchandise are extremely expensive. To make up the loss. Streaming doeant pay shit. And Slipknot is not in my top 20 favorite bands.

11. Don’t make a lot of money in comparison to our kardashian esque lifestyle 😂

12. Just because they made money doesn’t mean they knew how to keep it or didn’t blow it, and there are 9 of them. And they had a SHITTY deal with Roadrunner too.
    Nobody looks at the economics, they look at big band = rich members.

    Continuous digital streams is better than one time physical albums purchases.
    There’s no physical cost for manufacturing or debt to huge labels for investment. Especially depending on what percentage of each dollar they made from sales after all that. They’d make more money now.
    And who’s to say their sales numbers are even that good anymore comparatively.

13. Ohhhh upper middle class boohooo

14. I feel like when you look at "Upper Middle Class" levels of money, then yeah corey makes alot cpmpared to some other people, I think the big difference though is wealth maintenence. How much you have vs how much you have to put out to maintain it. Do they have to keep touring to maintain their financial freedom, more than likely yes. Corey and the other members probably make a little more then what your average upper corporate c8 corvette grandad makes, but even those people had to work till their 70's to have enough money to maintain that lifestyle. So are they loaded? As long as they tour enough to save enough to maintain that lifestyle yes. But are they upper echelon pop star rich where they could breakup right now and stop touring completely and still be able to live the way they do without changing their way of life at all. No, I dont think so.

15. Its a million just for bus rentals

16. Millionaires are upper middle class?

17. Slipknot is doing just fine there's a lot of other artists in worst positions that are still trying to put on a massive presences in the shows for audience captivation I love slipknot but come guys there doing just fine not Taylor Swift fine by any means but there be good for the rest of there lives pretty much

18. These comments are very out of touch. LOL Cannot believe I am saying that about Slipknot.

19. That's why they keep sacking members to put new ones on low fill in touring pay

20. How TF is metallica valued at one BILLION usd and these guys are making upper middle class money??? WHAT? I love metallica but the gap between these bands financially should not be so great. The world is an effed up place if these guys aren't loaded by now. Sad.

21. well I ASSURE you he's still a millionaire. idk about the rest of the band, but he is for sure.
