Looks strange:

David donates money to the charity and still manages to keep 75m. just by royalties?

And how could Roger have lost 22m. in one year? He got divorced or what?

Perhaps David donated the equivalent of his 2003/2004 income to charity?!? Perhaps Roger got a hefty tax bill or has paid ahead for his next tour as an investment?!?!

What i find strange is Mark Knopfler who writes all his own songs,is lower down the list than Nick Mason,who has basically never writen a song in his life!!!!??.But they did say Nick has a private car collection worth ?20million,so,i guess that helps,and i guess Mark does'nt pay himself enough.And in the same vain,why would Nick have more than Rick Wright?.

Probably because Rick doesn't get any royalties from The Wall, The Final Cut and Momentary Lapse, since he wasn't a official member of the band.

That should'nt make much of a difference,compare how many writing credits between Rick and Nick,and Rick wins by a mile,and he has solo album writing credits too.

It seems his ex-wife got the 22 million from their divorce!

More proof that the most lucrative career is to marry rich.

Hmm, but doesn't Roger claim to give a quarter of his cash to charity?

Wow, if so he must be so damned rich
