I know these websites that list the personal worth of stars and entertainers are making up the figures out of thin air. (I even stumbled on one that listed my supposed fortune - a wildly unrealistic conception of how much money there is to be made in music journalism).
Still, this entry on Keith
Jarrett really tickled me. Some kind of
madcap spirit of whimsical fabulism seems to have possessed whoever it was that
wrote this entry.
"The American pianist has an estimated net worth of $245 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Jarrett Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Allentown Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderjarrett - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Keith) and a fashion line called “Keith Jarrett Seduction”.
