We have no idea why he left PJ. Just saying it wasn’t a huge obligation. They just don’t do that much anymore. An album every five years with short tours. He’s not Mike Watt or something doing 70 shows in 70 night roughing it. He had plenty of time to concentrate on other projects.

Worth $50 million? Not likely. And sure he could just be retiring…retiring from not all that much though…

who konws the accuracy of these things, but this actually says his net worth is even more!

Even if his net worth is 10 million or 5... that's enough to get you through the rest of your life... an d probably another generation of Camerons as well.

Are you expecting the Cameron clan to live some kind of Space-like existence going forward? I might wish that upon Kirk Cameron's offspring, but not for the offspring of the drummer of the two greatest bands in rock and roll history. Three, if he joins Foo Fighters.

He's bipolar. Gives him twice as much time to split between multiple bands. Imagine what he could do if he was schizophrenic.

Do they still have differing taste in music? I wonder how the stick figure tattoo is working out?

Although his musical tastes were far different from the other members, Abbruzzese chose to join Pearl Jam, playing his first show on August 23, 1991. Initially, Abbruzzese was reluctant to join the band full-time. Then after his second show with Pearl Jam, Abbruzzese went straight down to his local tattoo parlor and had bassist Jeff Ament's stick figure drawing from the sleeve of the "Alive" single tattooed onto his left shoulder

Who was the dude that just got booted from Food Fighters? Maybe they'll just swap drummers.

a $5M annuity - AKA a safe, boring investment - can generate around $350K/year at the low end, per the googles.  get a decent (AKA non-hatch) financial advisor and you can expect more.  even after taxes, that will pay for a more-than-space-like existence.  add in a few gigs and guest appearances on others' albums, and the fact that he's been making PJ money for decades so he must have savings and paid off mortgage(s), and one can rest assured that the camerons will be doing just fine.  no yachts or private planes but certainly living in comfort.

I don't think I deserve the shade here... My S&P purchase on on 4/8/25 is up 24.55%!

Also annuities suck and any financial advisor worth their salt would steer you clear of them as you end up paying the servicing company tons of your capitol over time.

It's so easy to make automatic scheduled disbursements that Annuities are for the rich and stupid IMO


He could probably get a Yacht (a 50 ft boat) if he wanted, biggest expense would be it's annual cost to run and park it which could be in the $100k range depending where you are, that would put a big strain on his capital if no income was coming in

But we do know not to seek financial advice from Sweets

reminder - i discounted my advice before i even gave it:

a $5M annuity - AKA a safe, boring investment -

i used an annuity as a shorthand.  i didn't want to get into describing a fully diversified portfolio that included alternative investments blah blah blah... at no point did i recommend annuities.

But we do know not to seek financial advice from Sweets

anyone who takes my advice for anything is an idiot
