The Dave Matthews Band is loaded. At least, that’s what the current version of the Charlottesville Newsplex would have us believe. Forbes.com has named the group the 12th most wealthy band/musician in the world. This isn’t bad for a group that comes from the small town of Charlottesville VA. It’ll take a lot for them to become more famous than Thomas Jefferson, who also came from that place. But they’re not doing too badly with the newest crowd. They trail Madonna by a lot of money, but she has had a longer amount of time to sell albums and such. Meanwhile, she is also part of the establishment, while Dave and the others have had to help themselves most of the way. It just goes to show you what good music can do compared with what simple money and notoriety tries to do.
