how much money have SY made?
 
its a question i have wondered recently. i know that they are by no means 'rich' but they must be pretty well off.

Very little actually, due to the fact that every time a royalty cheque comes in, Steve runs out and buys new kit for his Hornby railway set.

More than a breadbox.

enough to keep on rockin. not enough to quit rockin

Well, it was well-publicized that they made $150,000 once for 3 shows in.. 2007 I believe?

Other than that, this is kind of a creepy question. I'm sure they are paying their bills just fine though.

They seem to mention in alot of interviews that they don't make significant money, or that they break even. Maybe they're being modest a.k.a. lieing

guitar hero
rockband
juno
starbucks
new sig. fenders

i think they're doing fine

as far as the actual number, i doubt the band even knows, keeping track of that shit over such a long career would be really tough
