I doubt they made millions.

However, there is no reason she couldn't have become a successful lawyer like Bhanky

58 years old and still controlled by a "manager". She had plenty of time to figure out how the music industry works. Very weird.

Most of their hits were written by others:

She has left En Vogue early because of money dispute so  you may be correct Dawn personally  may not be as loaded as others.

The music industry is notorious for terrible contracts for the artist. They take the deal or get nothing.

Well, he tried to blow up his small body so his proportions would be fitting. But he failed. Short arms, short legs, they always look weird. He should have gone for whatever-it-takes, and have become a XXS version of Rich Piana    ;D

It's worse for us bodybuilders. We have to pay to compete, and gay to win.

Then you have niche bands like Motorhead, where each guy left family members at least 3 million when they died.
(Lemmy probably much more). He said he made more on the couple of hits he wrote for Ozzy, than in his whole Motorhead career...
(Mama Im coming  home, etc)..

    Exactly, the artist gets paid last.  The same thing happened to the band TLC.
