Who gets the money when he is gone?
He should leave it to his hamster
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

Most of the numbers you pull up on those sites are hyped up, but I believe he is up there

His publishing alone as well as the last 10 years touring stadiums, absolutely

Easily. If he was the predominant songwriter for all of his bands contact, yes his licensing will be that of such.

No doubt at all.

PLUS - A $2mil house 25 years ago in LA is an EASY $15-20 mil today.

The name alone is probably worth $100mm.

I'm sure he is.
He has been successfully touring for years without being an asshole.
I'm not sure why it was so hard for him before.
If he wasn't such a douchebag back in the day, he'd probably be worth a whole lot more now.

But I guess everyone lives and learns.
I'm just glad GnR shows are awesome and drama free again.
I guess it's never to late!

This!

Also... a few other things to note that Axl does not have in the way of baggage...

Axl has never had kids... no rehab stints, no massive lawsuits, and the 1 marriage to Erin Everly lasted less than a year (more than 3 decades ago). And his engagement to Stephanie Seymour also ended quickly.

He has managed to keep himself out of trouble for most of the last 20-25 years, and as noted above, has little to no baggage.

All of that stuff, is what makes these rock stars, entertainers or athletes go broke! Kids, divorces and lawsuits.

Axl is very smart... and has avoided all of those pitfalls!

All those net worth sites are totally made up numbers unless Axl decided to report his net worth directly. :)

The guy in your apartment building who had minor recurring role on a sitcom a few years ago? 6 million! That guy you know who was in a band with a few minor hits back in the day? 10 million.

But 9 figures ain't outside the stretch of my imagination. I don't think he is in danger of going broke. He still lives in the same house which is crazy but then who really likes moving.

No Rehab that anyone knows about anyway. I wonder what W.Axl does for fun? Does he drive around in his Rolls Royce, roll down the window at intersections and ask people if they have any Grey Poupon? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktZSjanDIvg

I don't know if this is true or not but I heard the attempts to get him back on the road 2001/2002 was because he was going broke. Considering the tour sputtered to a halt and was on ice again til 2006 probably not. Though in the parlance of the ultra rich going broke could mean down to last 10 million. I was gonna mention Beta and her whole family sucking at the teat but I think she collects the money and Axl is on her payroll. Threatening to send him to bed alone and without the kitty litter has been enough motivation to get him to the stage on time.

I find it hard to believe he’s not worth a lot more than that. At best that’s a rough estimate of what he’s earned in his career. He’s a smart guy, he must have smart investments as well.

Meanwhile Duff and Dr. Evil both invested in a Seattle-based coffee company in the late 90s, and I think he invested in Amazon back then as well. I would imagine he does quite well for himself.

Axl has that "spiritual advisor" that probably siphoned away a huge chunk of his money.

Who knows what kind of documents she had him sign.

No wife or kids but a spiritual advisor still equals broke in the end.

People like that eventually end up hermits, locked away by their handler that steals all their money.

You think these guys do their own investing strategies? Of course not, if they did they'd be broke.

Exactly. No costly divorcees, child support, management ripoffs or on-going lawsuit drama. Whether by luck or design Axl has done extremely well for himself financially.

Even the older lady friend, surrogate mother, guru or whatever the relationship hasn't ripped him off. Or if she has it hasn’t made the news.

Wasn’t really my point. They’re smart people, that they have smart investments doesn’t necessarily mean they did it all on their own, it probably means they were smart enough to take good advice from other smart people.

If he's not worth $200 million at this point, he's a moron.
