Pete Best made £1 million + from Anthology.
I met Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls once, and he joked about how even though they were a Jewish band they still got royally screwed by the record company. At least he had a sense of humor about it!
Apologies if anyone's already brought this up, but I found an interview with Bill Wyman, where he says he can't live off his Stones' royalties. (I imagine that I could live off of his royalties easily, but I guess its a matter of your lifestyle). He said that was one of the reasons he formed the Rhythm Kings, so he could keep making money.
Here's a link to the interview:

I did read that Pete Best (Beatles drummer, pre Ringo) made a very tidy sum out of the royalties he earned from being on a couple of Anthology CD tracks.
Perhpas Macca is more generous than Mick?

So when artists whinge about "never making a penny " and so on...they are being economical with the truth (in terms of performance royalties that is).
The Samll Faces and The Animals come to mind.
They were probably ripped off by crooked mangers but should have still earned a reasonable income, by anyones standards?

Yes, I also recall another interview with Bill where he said he received in the region of £500,000 annual income from Stones loyalties.As Bill is known to check his bank statements, he must know!
I would have thought his Rythmn Kings is more for enjoyment than keeping the wolves away.
I'm sure his "small nest egg" as quoted in the Stones is a very tidy sum indeed.
IF (and I know from previous comments on this thread its a big if) Mick Taylor is receiving royalties at the same rates as Bill, his income should be at least £50,000 per annum (i.e 10% of Bill's).
