I wonder who's going to win on a music site? LOL Music is of the soul. Money is temporal although a necessary thing. Mozart was a multidimensional genius. Bezos is a money whorin psychopath bent to own the entire world. Rock me, Amadeus! You win in my book  -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Oh, this is an easy one: since Mozart is the Britney Spears of classical music - and I don't want too much of that in my house - and since I'm already lucky how things turned out, I take Bezos' 10%! ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Don't think Britney was able to memorize an entire opera from one listening experience as a kid  Have you checked out Mozart's more esoteric stuff? There's a reason he is still considered the best. In fact Mozart outsold most modern artists last year in terms of sales. ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Considering 10% of Bezos' fortune is roughly $20 billion, I could buy a band or three. And the hall to put them in. And groupies of course. In fact, why don't we just forget the bands and concentrate on the groupies. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| Like Floyd said "...And I think I need a lear jet". Musical talent usually gets you nowhere anymore. Look at Allan Holdsworth. Best guitar player ever and his family had trouble paying for his funeral. Check out the thousands of musical youtuber's. Are they going anywhere? The only reason to play music is for your own pleasure. If you expect to be noticed or paid, haha. It's the managers that get you noticed. Pay to play. If Mozart was alive today, writing classical music, would he be a huge star? Doubt it. |

Musical talent can be applied to many disciplines of life including business. Everything is basically timing. If Mozart was alive today he would have his attention on the pulse of the music scene and probably reinvent it somehow. Just look at bands like Black Midi who are fresh out of high school and conquering the world with only two albums. There is still money to be made in music but only for a few who have both the musical talent and the ability to capitalize on it. And BTW there is nothing wrong with making music as a hobby. Not all music needs to be about $$$. ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Yeah I believe he's the biggest selling classical composer these days by a far margin. Doesn't mean he's the best though. But I do use that argument for the Beatles as the greatest musical artist ever, so I guess I need to be consistent... hard to argue Bach over Mozart when you look at the actual sales.

Hi, I was thinking that if you could collect all the royalties for 500 years and then adjust for the times and inflation, that Bezos would not even factor in this discussion!  ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I’d probably take the money and start a fire. 20 million makes a fine bonfire and would most likely get a conversation going about the meaning of dough and why it is that we keep doing evil and entirely monstruous stuff in it’s name.
