    I knew she wrote a bunch of people's stuff, figured she's doing ok but she is criminally underrated.

    Writing songs for people is one of the quickest ways to make money. Sia wrote Diamonds for Rihanna and was paid upwards of 20K for that song. She Wrote in 14 minutes.

    20 K initially for the song, but millions for the residuals. Her net worth is 20 million.

    Well we don't know if she's getting any points for it. We'd have to see the contract. Typically those are fee for service.

    Exactly. 99% of the time when an artist writes a song for someone else, that person is selling it outright and the purchaser is the one who will get the residuals.

    Sia Furler's net worth is currently estimated at $20 million. Most of her earnings are due to residuals from the numerous pop hits she has written over the past few years, including the previously mentioned "Diamonds" and others such as Beyonce's "Pretty Hurts" and Britney Spears' "Perfume."Feb 23, 2015

    Ferrell, as you know, signed a 2-year contract right after the blazer game.

    Yep, and hasn't scored more than 20 points in a game since he dropped 32 on us, is averaging 10 ppg since he signed his contract and has lost his starting job. Typical rich guy impulse buy.

    Dude, the small sample size conlusions are getting really annoying.

    He shoots 50%, and drops a near triple double (17, 8, and 8), and suddenly he's overhyped because the one-game sample size of last night's wasn't impressive enough?

    It's as trollish as the stuff Nik or MM says.

    Wait a minute. I think I have this figured out.

    KingSpeed is an actor who's job it is to create reactions and emotions in his audience.

    He posts things like this and doesn't respond but he gets others to react.

    Acting at its finest. Bravo, King. Bravo.
