I wonder how much he has made in royalties in the past 5 years for ringtones alone

If they paid him based on ad revenue from YouTube and other web downloads, like some artists are now suing companies over, he'd be the richest goddamn musician on the planet.

Good on him, seems a right nice chap.

Screw ringtones, I use it as a ringback tone.

I've read that he made VERY little off of you tube and the "Rickroll".... shame is that many an internet troll has had a good time with it, and he deserves the money. After reading this article, I have a respect for the guy. Seems like a nice, level headed dude.

79% of people don't know the opposites for the following words. Are you one of the 21%?
1: Always
2: Coming
3: From
4: Take
5: Me
6: Down

good article. past 'net crap i read made me think he was poverty stricken after a career punctuated with hard luck breaks. ain't that some shiat? glad he's done well, seems like a nice fellow.

Good for him. So many people that get rich when they're in their 20's blow it all and end up bankrupt. Hell, I would have been one of them.

He said goodbye and made me cry, the lying bastard.

Rick Astley is the Dick Clark of internet memes.

True, but then again if young people didn't blow their money or have their parents teal it we never would have seen Tiffany in Playboy.

You'd be surprised just how much he made on ringtones: Link

Rick Astley's real name is Rick Astley. Also, his middle name is Paul.

Rick Astley? Have you seen this banal incubus at work? Boy, if this guy isn't heralding Satan's imminent approach to Earth, huh. "Don't ever wanna make you cry, never wanna make you sigh ... never gonna break your heart" ... oh, I wouldn't worry about that without a dick, buddy. You got a corn nut! You got a clit! You're not even a guy! You're an AIDS germ that got off a slide! They're puttin' music to AIDS germs, they're puttin' a drum machine behind them in a metronome beat and Ted Turner's colorizing 'em, God damn it! These aren't even people man! It's a CIA plot to make you think malls are good!! Don't ya see? (Imitates stereotypical American in a robotic manner) "But Bill, malls are good! Malls allow us to shop 365 days of the year at a 72 degree heat. That must be good."

Jump to about 2:00 for the demo
