Just my opinion here and no disrespect to the conversation going on, but I find speculation about earnings of anyone in bad taste - I hate ranking / earnings lists of all ilks. And also find our cult of worshiping income as a designator of worth to be super destructive. Adam's worth as an person, as an artist, as a role model, as a friend and son has nothing to do with $$$ and no matter what the $ figure it would be too low. And while I can look at an earnings list and smile that he's way past needing to find the money for dimmer switches - where he is on that list is irrelevant (to me). #YMMV #carryon An interesting statement that makes me wonder. I'm from Texas of mostly English ancestors and one of the "manners" instilled by my Mother was that you never asked how much money some one had. I traveled from Lax to Palm Springs one time with Catsmadam (six hours, 120 miles) and every once in a while she would say something that to me was a southern saying. Since it is likely you are also of English heritage I bet this is something we both inherited from that common ancestry. However crass it may seem income is a barometer of success but perhaps not worth. Next thing you know I will be quoting a credit card commercial "priceless" "income is a barometer of success" while true enough is perhaps one of the saddest reflections of our views on success and what it means in society today and the reason I find so called "rich lists" to be profoundly depressing. Sadly the $ someone makes carries more weight than what they accomplish. But I won't divert the conversation further down this path - and yes I have English (and Spanish and French) heritage and judging someone by what they do not by how much money they make was pretty big in my house growing up (and still is). |

I think of it this way: the comparison is objective rather than subjective. Then you have DH who once asked a cattleman in Big Bend Texas how many head of cattle he ran. (well he really said "how many cows do you have?") The man was a bit taken back, but I just said DH was from Chicago and the man just nodded and changed the conversation. eta: I've asked before but I think it got lost in the thread since I usually come on later in the day. What do we do to support Adam's era 3? Spotify, Itunes, Facebook, what streaming site etc. Anyone putting together a plan? |

I don't think anyone here is "judging" Adam by how much he made...I know I am not, but I am deliriously happy that he found a way not only to be himself and follow his passion but also to secure a very comfortable lifestyle. |

Why should the conversation about the Forbes list be diverted at all?! It is a current news article with Adam in it! IIt's not like someone just made up the topic today! I haven't seen anyone do anything other than try to figure out what gigs are included in that 2.5 figure! And what next year might be!
