That BLI interview as soooooooo good! it was fun & silly, but they got information out of him too! He is soooooooo happy, creatively! Loves his life. Loves his house! He didn't deny the 10 million figure! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ But Adam also says: "That doesn't mean I pocket all that money. That's how much I've like, generated, you know." So sounds like 10 million is his gross and not his net. I.e., his management, etc, is paid out of that 10 million. I don't think anyone said that 10 million is a net income. I think from the discussion it is/was pre-tax.

I.e., his management, etc, is paid out of that 10 million. Forbes was very clear about "pretax." And I believe Adam was making a joke in the interview & being humble. From what I can tell -- It was certainly pretax and almost certainly post management, professional and legal expenses. However Adam lives in California so taxes are extremely high -- highest in the US. Even with the best planning, he pays a lot of taxes. $10 million probably ends up being > $6.5-7 million net. And that pays for a lot of boots.

This is so AWESOME!! Adam kicking off the NZ/Australia with a gold feather in his cap...no red bull needed for an energy kick for tonight's performance. And I noticed his opener Melanie Martinez was also listed Gold for her single....released in February 2014. it will be interesting to hear what Atopers think of her on this leg of the tour. Sure wish these concert times were not so deep into my bedtime!! Wasn't Melanie Martinez in the finals of the X-Factor USA? I looked her up and it seems she was on The Voice. But wiki said her record was released 4/22/14 (not that it really matters). She is very quirky and was quite popular on the show. Melanie Amaro won 1st season X Factor but seems to have not made it.

And maybe he can save some for his second home either in NY or London.. ![GrinSmiliey](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/grin.png) . I will vote for London.
