60 million in revenue! Sammy has said that he's made more money in tequila than he ever has in music.

I wouldn't go quite that far, as for me the tequila goes down a tad smoother. Originally Posted by vhrocker

good read, good for Sam.

Well. If you just take the time to highlight a few quotes, then for sure 'em Rothtards will come full throttle to shed some "light" on this thread:
"This month, following his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Hagar introduced Cabo Uno, a $250 limited-edition reserve."
(hint at possible anti-Hagar flame: he's milking his RNRHOF induction)
"Being a huge corporate brand was never in Hagar's plan. Refusing to deploy a team of marketers, he relied on his grassroots rocker platform to spread the word. In 1999 he wrote the party anthem Más Tequila, and he says he always mentioned the brand in interviews."
(hint: pimping his brand during interviews)Little Dreamer

On another note, I see that he's considering a Cabo beer line. That could be interesting if done correctly. More of a beer lover than the Tequila, so that would be great.
BTW six, your band playing in dallas anytime soon?Don't drink the Jim Jones punch. They're called theToxic Twins for a reason...

I like the line where he says 40Gs is like pocket change for the VH bros.
There's new info in this article, becoz I don't think he ever made public the initial investment in CW. I would've thought that it was more than 100Gs per band member. You can't even buy half of a house for that price.
It makes the VH bros look like fools even more, I mean it's really not much money for them.Little Dreamer
