I heard last year that Satisfaction has made the Stones $93 million since it's release.
I don't know what the figure is, but that should read: "the Glimmers made $93 million...." and not the Stones, since it was a Jagger/Richard song. Unlike how it was in the Beatles, where all 4 of them collected writing royalties on the Lennon/Mccartney songs, that wasn't ever the case with Jagger/Richard songs, as none of the others shared in that. Now yes, in the '60s the entire band got a cut anyway for Glimmer songs for playing on them, but after the Allen Klein deal, only the Glimmers made any cash off of the old songs.
I should note that with the Fabs, John and Paul were still not total saints when it came to their bandmates on songwriting... On what I just noted about the Lennon/McCartney songs, yeah George and Ringo got a piece of the writing royalties for the Lennon/McCartney songs they didn't write, but on the other hand, for the songs they did write, the writing royalties still mainly went to John and Paul when it wasn't their songs. For Ringo that wasn't a bad deal at all since he only wrote 2 songs for the Fabs, but for George, who wrote a lot of beatle songs, it was a terrible deal, and why he wrote the song "Only a Northern Song". Northern Song was of course the Beatles publishing company's name which was in part owned by John and Paul, but not George or Ringo.
