DMB 4th Highest-Earning Act

By Waldo Jaquith
As they are every year, DMB has once again been ranked as one of the highest-earnings musical acts in the world. In Rolling Stone's 2001 rankings, they're listed as having netted $43.4 million, putting them in 4th place, just behind U2 ($61.9M), Dr. Dre ($59.1M) and The Beatles ($47.9M). 80% of DMB's income was generated from ticket sales, with the remainder presumably coming from album and merchandise sales. Thanks to Michael Recchiuti for the tip.
