Is that really tough being Dave Murray?

A few interesting points:
Nicko is the lowest, being lower than Janick despite having about 7 years and millions of record sales advantage.
Bruce has not particularly suffered from leaving and returning like Adrian might have.
 
I once read an interview with Bruce in which he mentioned profits being split equally, but that when someone was the driving force behind a Maiden-related product, the share raised to 35%.

I wish I could find it now.

Which is strange, because with Maiden Brews, Maiden Audio and Maiden Comics, the directors of those 3 companies are only Bruce, Jan, Rod, H and Andy (from the Maiden camp). I guess that's for tax reasons and the other band members still profit from the products, but they have no voting power in those companies (they are even not listed as members/directors of those companies).

I guess that means that profit from those companies goes to Iron Maiden LLP first and is than split to each member's holding according to how much input they had on a particular product.

That probably has something to do with Steve, Dave, and Nicko being tax exiles (not UK residents).

Rules might have changed after Steve became a Tax Exile Lion and, if I am not mistaken, Maiden Brews, Maiden Audio and Maiden Comics were created after Steve left the UK.

If it's Nicko that you mean, he's not a bottom, he's a free man.
Born again, admittedly, but still.
