From Bild, translations from Narin @ tokiohotel.org.uk:

Who earns off Tokio Hotel?

The fans scream wherever Tokio Hotel appears. And the cash is really rolling in because CD and merchandise sales bring in a pile of money. But who actually earns off the commotion? BILD.de explains.

The Magdeburg band earns more than the usual amount in the industry. Other artists receive on average 17% of their CD sale prices, whereas ‘Tokio Hotel’ and their team of producers pocket between 20 – 25%.

However, the German high-flyers also lower the costs for the record companies. The band take over the recording of the CD themselves – and hand over finished songs, as the “Welt am Sonntag” reported.

In three years ‘Tokio Hotel’ has gained up to 40 million Euros through CD sales. Furthermore, the merchandise sales bring in sums of over 10 million.

In addition, the boys have helped their record company, Universal Music Deutschland, to „Priority Status“. This means that all Universal branch companies must market Tokio Hotel in their country. This special status also allows the German record branch to earn over 10% of total US sales.

Since this has never happened before, the band is also allowed to scream in joy.
