Geez what's with the Canadian going off on this..? Oh yeah, Canadian...
I had used the assessed value, which is what's available publicly. Plus it supported the point I was trying to make on estimating expenses (taxes) which are based on assessed values. Since Dave bought the house in 1991 for $1.3 million (not $10 million) the current value discussed at $2.4 million does align with the market. This isn't the first discussion here on this...

26 in '15 and 54 in '12, were the tour grosses. Plus merchandising. A 1/4 of that after expenses probably isn't top athlete money, but I bet the way Dave lives, he can live on just that, forget royalties from Jump, Panama and DTNA being played all over the world daily. He's probably invested well, too. I'm more worried about BumBahDeeDah.Comment

Keep in mind, there are kids who play video games on Twitch and Youtube who make a minimum of $18,000 a month(with ads, sponsors, donations, etc...). The Highest paid make over a million a month. These guys can make up to $10,000 PER HOUR to play a sponsored video game on Twitch or Youtube or Facebook Live, etc...
For Diamond David Lee Roth to expect at least $10,000 just to arrange to talk to the legend himself, not counting his actual fee, is perfectly reasonable.-We have enough youth. How about a fountain of "Smart"?

As long as he doesn't do Vegas weddings for 6 grands, fine...on the other hand...he'd do it perfect!
Imagine a "No hold mambo slammer Picasso brother"-wedding at "Club Dave Chapelle".

I'm not implying Roth is on the verge of bankruptcy... all those 5-6 figure amounts y'all referenced is good money. But, Dave's not earning those amounts directly... netting out Roth's take after you factor in the record label (WB), publishers and then dividing the remaining portion by 3-4 fellow band members... $100,000 probably ends up a couple thousand cash in hand after taxes at best, annually.
Roth's house in Pasadena is over 11,000 sq ft on 2 acres... valued around $2.4 million. His taxes, utilities and maintaining it probably cost him $30-50k a year. Not sure if he still maintains an apartment in New York... that won't come cheap at all.
I sense a tour may become a necessity soon...
