And then Lance has to pay taxes on whatever share he gets.
I am not saying he couldn't *maybe* pay for it himself. I am just saying that often what you perceive isn't always the actual truth, especially when it comes to the music industry.
Exactly.
And actually, I believe the group makes about 20 million per tour, divided between managers, tour crews, and then the 5 guys.
So then, you subtract taxes and expenses, and note here he has a million dollar house, so obviously that's gonna cost him a pretty penny to keep. Cell phone bills, electric bills, etc...
After you've payed for all that crap, I wouldn't be surprised if you were on a budget.
Especially Lance here, he doesn't like to excessively spend money.
If anyone could pay for the trip, I would think Chris could.
He doesn't live in a million dollar house (and no, not a crappy 8 million dollar house that looks like if you kicked it it would fall, like justin, either) And, he once said he has to call his accountant if he wants to supersize at mcdonalds
