are you guys sure? i dont know anybody who hasnt at least one record of sy. and daydream nation only 300 000 copies within 20 years?
but if you where right, they would be millionairs too. I dont know what they get per record, i heard the mtv-jerks get 1-2 dollars, so sonic youth might get 3-4. so, there are a few millions with the cds. thats not much over the years, but then you have to add this huge amount of shows almost every year. and live music is the main business in music industry. famous bands like u2 earn 300 million each year only with concerts. so, lets say sy get a few million. all together, the are millionairs.
