RonJonSurfer Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Clapton Earns Millions by Doing Nothing The 61-year-old guitarist raked in nearly $7 million last year without recording a song. British rocker Eric Clapton raked in nearly $7 million last year - without recording a song or going on tour. The 61-year-old guitarist gave himself a $2.5 million pay raise after earning a fortune from royalties and sales from his back catalogue. The figure does not include the cash made from reuniting with his Cream bandmates in London and New York City last summer. Clapton, who already has a $270 million fortune, will reap even more this year with the release of his new album 'Back Home' alongside his upcoming world tour. A note sent to his accounting firm Marshbrook simply said, "The group has had a satisfactory year."
