10k tops. He probably makes the bulk of his income from live performances and other extra-musical sources.

 

Just curious why bother with other people's income?

It depends on the people doing his business, if he has a good manger they can makes a lot.

 

Wow, if all this is true, I'm glad I never became a concert pianist (lack of talent).
