    Earnings

    Music & Recordings:

    1961 = 775,078
    1962 = 775,000
    1963 = 546,000
    1964 = 506,000
    1966 = 644,000
    1967 = 817,000
    1968 = 532,000
    1969 = 794,000
    1970 = 1,325,000
    1971 = 1,200,000
    1972 = 1,100,000
    1973 = 4,214,000
    1974 = 750,000 [50% of this went to Parker]

    The 1973 'buyout' of his back-catalogue by RCA greatly reduced his 1974 figure !
    And who'd have thought '67 would exceed '68 - and by such a margin !

    Films

    1961 = 902,610
    1962 = 902,000
    1963 = 1,253,000
    1964 = 1,508,000
    1966 = 2,500,000
    1967 = 2,700,000
    1968 = 2,600,000
    1969 = 1,096,000
    1970 = 730,000
    1971 = 114,000
    1972 = 356,000
    1973 = 143,000

    Amazing how much he was still earning from the poorly-received films of '66-'67-'68 !

    Personal Appearances

    1969 = 401,000
    1970 = 2,042,000
    1971 = 2,700,000
    1972 = 4,300,000
    1973 = 3,860,000
    1974 = 3,116,666

    How about '72 then !

    Television

    1968 = 350,000
    1969 = 150,000

    All in US Dollars before Tax was cut out.

    Thanks to Colin B from FECC!

    I don't think we should be taking threads off the Fecc forum and posting them here at TCB-World it makes this site seem like a copycat and totally unoriginal

    Things are posted from one website to the other all the time. What's the big deal? I enjoyed looking over it and would not have seen it had he not put it here.

    Thanks Brad.

    I think it's wrong to do that

    It's against my personal beliefs

    Re: Earnings

    I like it, gives a whole new group of people here at TCB a chance to talk about it.

    Looking at those figures its easy to think that wasn't very much but it was for the time. Too bad he didn't have more capable people to manage it for him because he certainly didn't have much left when he died. From what I hear he never took any deductions either so he had to have paid out a ton in taxes.

    Well, I'm sorry Brian, I have credit to the orginal person who posted this which was Colin B.

    I thought it would be interesting for our members to see, as maybe some don't visit other sites.

    I agree JDD, Colonel in my opinion, when after what deals would benefit him and his crew first like Tom Diskin, then Elvis. Colonel in the later years always got a huge percentage, alot of times, more than Elvis, on deals. Sad thing really.

    Re: Earnings

    thanks for the info, credit was given, it's not really much differant than posting scans of reviews or articles from books or mags.
    I never looked for trouble but I never ran.

    Interesting Brad, thank you.

    And come on, give us a break already, all Elvis sites share the same material or news more or less. No big deal.

    And personal believes Brian, have little to do with a subject like this. Lighten up my friend, it's Elvis business amongst Elvis fans.
