Just wonderin' since Dees has a globally syndicated countdown show, the Deesvision website, and other business ventures, just how much is this guy worth...Letterman, Leno, Stern, and Oprahs financial earnings are always revealed but not much about Dees.....Is this guy pullin' in the dollars that those guys are raking in.....
 
Dees is no Stern or Oprah ?

Rick Dees was a Disc Jockey. Every other venture he has tried has flopped. He is well off, and his Wife does or did quite well. He is no Stern or Oprah. I would not hesitate to say that Judge Greg Mathis makes more than Dees!

Yeah but the man was considered to be the best in one of the largest radio markets in the country and he had a nationally syndicated countdown show, Dees had to be pulling at least over 10 mill a year in his best years.......
 
Rick Dees, 10 Million a YEAR?

Somehow I don't figure that figure is on his Tax return. DJ's generally don't make that type of money. And a nationally syndicated countdown show Host does not make Millions either. I had last heard 2 Million for his Radio gig, and that was the reason he was shown the door!.

Naw last I heard when the guy re-signed some years ago, he was making ball park 10-15 million a year, I was just wonderin' how far that figure has dropped now since he doesn't have the daily radio gig anymore....I'm in Detroit, Michigan and the top radio DJ out here Dick Purtan is pullin' down around 4 million a year and this isn't even as big a market as LA and your gonna tell me that you thought Dees was only pullin' down 2 mill a year....you've gotta be kiddin'...LA is about the 2nd biggest radio market in the United States behind New York<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by motorcitymadness on 03/21/06 05:38 PM.</FONT></P>
