Question

How many money does the famous pianist catch?

Answer 1

We he/she is not getting endorsements from Nike. nor are you likely to see him/her  on the small screen selling dishwashing soap.

But. . . there are endorsements to be had from . . . guess what. . . piano companies! (i.e. Steinway, Bosendorfer, Yamaha).  This may be their steadiest stream of income.  They also sign record label deals just like your local rock icon.  Then once they win the tony awards and  they can strike out on their own and charge appearance fees (maybe $50,000 for a prestigious performance)?

I'm glad to give you info about their  sources.  Sorry I don't have info about the amounts.  I would  guess maybe $500,000 a year for the creme-de-la-creme.  Good luck,
