The real money came from Oasis, obviously. We’re talking about one of the biggest bands in British history. Those record sales, those world tours, those countless t-shirts that are still selling in HMV today?
Liam was the lead singer. That means a fat slice of the publishing royalties, the touring income, and the merch pot. Sure, Noel wrote the songs and gets the big publisher checks. But Liam still rakes in a fortune from performing them live and from the band’s back catalog.
Think about this: every time you hear “Wonderwall” in a coffee shop, Liam and Noel both earn a little something. Every single time. That’s passive income, baby.
