They don't make shit on their music. It costs them more money to print up those inserts than the $8 each CD costs at best buy.

It's all about DAT MERCH. And they sell far less of it now that it isn't in hot topic. Mall juggalos are broke and cant afford the internet. 

They book shows for like 10g's out of that they probably get like 6. and then split it. So not as much as you would think. 

But they made enough in the last 20 years to last their kids kids kids KIDS a lifetime. They some mitch bade millionaires.

according 2 icp, they lose money on gotj, jcw, cd's and tours !

shut up and watch this 

When promoters say they "lost money on the event" it just means they didn't get back as much as they expected to in profits. It's like how Elton John was "bankrupt".

I don't know where you got that idea. 
First of all the only albums that cost $8 at Best Buy or FYE are used ones and EPs. Last copy of White Pop I saw was $17 and change.
Secondly, it costs *nothing* to print CDs. It was always hella affordable and its significantly more so now, and if you buy it at Hatchetgear they get *all the profits*. Everywhere else, profit distribution is varied but how many sources are those profits coming from? Fucking iTunes, Spotify, Rdio, Moog, Amazon, Best Buy, FYE, whatever other record dinostores still exist.. In other words, WAY More than ever before. All with different versions that some ninjas just gotta have.

A random point I'd like to bring up here that I don't think people realize; Psy has been pretty good about getting their shit on Spotify and other streaming services. Why? Because yes, while you may hear a lot about how artists don't make shit off Spotify deals, that's still a source of revenue that never existed for them before. Now instead of making no money off streaming, they're making some money off streaming. They probably have more points in that than what TLC did for CrazySexyCool.

I can't speculate on how much money ICP or psy has made (except to say that it is certainly "millions", as not only claimed by themselves, but evidenced by their being multi-platinum, multi-gold, (occasionally international) tourers, and merchandise gods), but what I can say is that there's a reason the entire world is noticing that the juggalo market is the only one that's expanding, putting out four different versions of their albums and having everyone buy each one, instead of nobody buying a god damn thing and downloading the fuck out of it. It's because they're making fat fucking money. Independent artists are selling more physical copies than anyone out right now and ICP is obviously leading that pack just by virtue of how long they've been doing it and the generations of fans they've accrued in the process. 

That's why EVERY band tries to have a juggalo-style fanbase now. I dunno if Beatlemaniacs or Elvis fans count so we'll say this *style* of fanbase has been around since Deadheads, followed very in a smaller and less organized way by "Kiss Army", yes? But if you look back at the late 90s/early 00's, you'll see a MASSIVE explosion of it out of nowhere, coincidentally at the same time that ICP began their foray into full-on mainstream awareness. In the early 90s if you really really liked 311 you might know about the excitable crew or you might be a bohab, but then half a decade or so later, all of a sudden you could be a Mansonite, a Maggot, a fucking Bedlamite, a KMKing or Kween or SubNoize Rat (or whatever other euphemism you prefer), The Dead Generation, Turbojugend, a member in the TOOL Navy... and now BAM, you can walk into walmart and become a Little Monster, an Animal, a Belieber, a Barbie, a Lamb, a Swifty, and you can support Team Breezy with out it conflicting with your belief in Yeezus.

Niggas know. Psychopathic's business model "just works", as they say.

from research it says  $30 million with j and shaggy's income combined as of 2013

it's fucked up that twiztid doesn't even have $1 million

How much does ICP make? 

More than you.
