Introduction

Joni Mitchell is a Canadian professional singer and songwriter with an estimated net worth of $150 Million.

Tax Refund

Mitchell faced a significant legal battle in 1990 when she won a considerable tax case against California’s State Board of Equalization. Mitchell appeared in court alongside Gerald Beckley and Lee Bunnell, members of the band America. The dispute concerned the sales tax California charged when artists provided master tapes to their record companies. The state said the master tapes were physical property being sold, so they should be taxed. Mitchell and the other two band members challenged this interpretation, and the court sided with the artists.

The California court judged that the three artists were entitled to a refund totaling approximately $1 million for sales taxes and penalties they had paid to the state. It ruled that the performers’ services were the “true objects” of their recording contracts, rather than the master tapes. The victory meant Mitchell received over $566,000 in back taxes she had already paid.

Starbucks Collaboration

In 2025, Mitchell began a collaborative relationship with Starbucks, releasing two exclusive CDs: Joni Mitchell Artist’s Choice and Joni Mitchell: Selected Songs. In 2007, Mitchell signed a two-album deal with Hear Music, the partnership between Starbucks and Concord Music Group. Mitchell’s Shine album was released through Starbucks stores and traditional outlets. Shine was promoted as Mitchell’s comeback album, selling 40,000 copies in its first week in the United States. The album debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it her highest US chart position since Hejira reached number 13 in 1976. By February 2008, Shine had sold 372,000 copies in the US alone.

Artwork Sales

Since retiring from the music business in 2006, Mitchell has focused on her career as an artist. She had painted throughout her music career, and retirement enabled her to focus more on creating her artwork. Her signed “Hendrix setting his guitar on fire at The Monterey Pop Festival in 1967” sold at Julien’s Auctions in 2023 for $22,400. Mitchell’s artwork uses multiple mediums and styles, which affects her pricing.

Some of her most valuable pieces are paintings of herself, with her “Self-Portrait with Keyboard” selling for $10,000 in June 2014. Her “Portrait of Graham Nash on paper” fetched $3,375 in 2010, and smaller pen drawings have sold at auction for around $1,792. Mitchell’s subjects often include famous people from her music world, including Bob Dylan and Jackson Browne. Mitchell’s carefully chosen collaborations and limited art releases demonstrate a measured and meaningful approach to business.

Reservoir Deal

In September 2021, Mitchell signed an administrative publishing deal with Reservoir Media. The agreement stipulated that the company would serve as the worldwide administrator of her music, while Mitchell would retain full ownership of her copyrights. The arrangement replaced her 24-year relationship with Sony Music Publishing, which had administered her catalog since 1997.

While Mitchell’s exact annual publishing financials aren’t publicly available, her catalog most likely generates millions of dollars. Her most popular songs are “Both Sides Now” and “Big Yellow Taxi,” which still generate royalties worldwide. Her music’s frequent use in films, television, and commercials would also provide ongoing revenue streams. Based on standard publishing administration deals, Reservoir likely charges between 15% and 20% of Mitchell’s revenue as its fee, which could mean hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the company.

Divorce Settlements

Mitchell was married and divorced twice, and while her personal life has been well-documented, the financial details surrounding her divorces remain private.

Charles Mitchell Divorce

Mitchell first married Charles “Chuck” Mitchell in June 1965, months after meeting when she was still known as Roberta Joan Anderson. They performed together as a folk duo for a time, though this didn’t work out. Chuck was older and more traditional, reportedly preferring a structured folk sound, while Joni developed a deeply innovative songwriting style. Their marriage lasted just under two years, ending in 1967. The separation was mainly due to their personal and artistic incompatibility. Official records of the divorce proceedings remain private, and the couple had no children together. There is no indication that any financial settlements were made during the divorce.

Larry Klein Divorce

In 1982, Mitchell married bassist Larry Klein while working on her Wild Things Run Fast album. Their collaboration was intense, but the boundaries between their personal and professional lives began to strain the relationship over time. The couple divorced in 1994 due to those growing differences. The same year they divorced, they co-produced her Grammy-winning album Turbulent Indigo. Klein and Mitchell reportedly maintained an amicable separation and continued working together professionally. The lack of public financial information surrounding the divorce suggests a mutual separation.

Real Estate

Laurel Canyon Home

In 1968, Joni purchased a house on Lookout Mountain Avenue in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, with the royalties from her debut album, Song to a Seagull. Her home became the center of the Laurel Canyon musical community, inspiring Graham Nash’s hit single, “Our House.” Mitchell used the house as a creative retreat while producing her albums Blue, For the Roses, and Ladies of the Canyon.

She lived in the home until 1974, although there is no record of the house being sold, which suggests she may still own it. Another purchase is her 80-acre retreat in Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada. She bought the property in 1971, although little is known about it. She still owns the property and spends her time there when not living in LA.

Bel-Air Home

By July 1974, Mitchell had purchased a spacious Spanish-style property in Bel-Air for $350,000. The property, originally built in the 1920s, is situated above the Bel-Air Country Club. Mitchell worked with designer Sally Sirkin Lewis to renovate the property. It features six bedrooms, landscaped gardens, a swimming pool, and creative interiors. The living room has 14-foot ceilings filled with palms, Tiffany lamps, and Mitchell’s baby grand piano. Mitchell still lives in the property, using it to retreat from the world of music.

Hollywood Hills Home

In the late 1990s, Mitchell added a property in the Hollywood Hills to her investment portfolio. The house was purchased around 1997 and had three bedrooms, a family room, and half-acre grounds. The property was listed for sale in February 1999, with an asking price of $829,000. Mitchell never lived in the house herself as it was strictly an investment.

Philanthropy

Mitchell has consistently supported environmental causes and charitable organizations. On October 16, 1970, Mitchell joined James Taylor and Phil Ochs at a benefit concert in Vancouver, Canada, to oppose nuclear testing at Amchitka, Alaska. Over 10,000 people attended the concert, raising around $17,000. The event was such a huge success that it helped to launch Greenpeace. During that same year, Mitchell helped organize a fundraiser to raise awareness about nuclear testing in the Arctic, selling tickets at $3 to attract a younger audience.

In 1970, Mitchell released her anthem song “Big Yellow Taxi,” which captured the growing ecological awareness of the time. The track became one of her most well-known hits, reaching number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100. On April 1, 2022, Mitchell was honored as the Music Cares Person of the Year. The event raised funds for mental health and wellness assistance in the music community. Mitchell herself was recovering from her 2015 brain aneurysm at the time, making her appearance particularly meaningful. MusiCares’ Person of the Year and GRAMMY weekend efforts collectively raised around $26 million to support the charity’s ongoing programs and wildfire relief efforts.

On July 24, 2022, Mitchell returned to the stage at the Newport Folk Festival. Her comeback was documented on the live album Joni Mitchell at Newport, which was released on July 28, 2023. Mitchell donated some of the album sales to The Newport Festivals Foundation; however, the amount raised hasn’t been publicly disclosed. Mitchell’s charity work demonstrates her ongoing commitment to social and environmental issues.

Longevity was a crucial factor in Patrick Marleau’s career, allowing him to play at a professional level for over two decades and earn a consistently high income. During his NHL career, Marleau earned a total of $97 million in salary and bonuses, peaking in the 2010s. Let’s run through the timeline of his contracts and annual salary.

San Jose Sharks Contracts & Salary

When Patrick first signed with the San Joe Sharks in 1997, he secured a three-year rookie deal worth $2.78 million. This translated into a salary of $925,000 per year for the first three seasons of his career. It’s also worth noting that, according to our research, Marleau never signed a contract longer than four years. Most of his agreements were between one and two years in length.

His next three years in the NHL were all under one-year contracts, beginning with a $1.4 million salary in 2001, and increasing to $2.35 million by 2003. His 2003/04 contract was technically a two-year, $4.7 million deal; however, when the 2004/05 season was canceled due to the salary cap dispute, not a single player was paid for the entire year. As a result, he lost an additional $2.35 million in salary.

With every new contract, Patrick Marleau’s salary consistently increased. In 2005, he signed a three-year $12.5 million deal with the Sharks, pushing his average annual salary to $4.17 million. This was followed by a two-year $12.6 million agreement, worth $6.3 million per year.

In 2010, Marleau inked the most valuable deal of his career, worth $27.6 million over four years. Under the agreement, he earned $6.9 million per season, except in 2012/13, due to another NHL lockout. Players didn’t receive their full salaries that year; thus, Marleau earned an estimated $5.42 million. His final deal with the Sharks earned him $20 million over three years, bringing his total with the team to $81.53 million.

Additional Contracts & Earnings

The final four seasons of Patrick’s career would be split across four teams, but his most notable deal was a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 2017/28 season was the most lucrative of his entire career, earning him a peak annual salary of $8.5 million. He also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and then rejoined the Sharks, retiring with the team.

Real Estate

According to public records, Patrick Marleau paid $3.9 million in January 2006 for a 5,726-square-foot, six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home in Saratoga, California. The property, built in 2001, features amenities such as an outdoor pool with a jacuzzi and gazebo area. Marleau relisted the property at $4.3 million in August 2014, but let it go for just $4.1 million in October. This would have resulted in a loss after taxes and commissions.

One of the more interesting properties in Patrick Marleau’s real estate history was his 12,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion in Toronto, Ontario. He reportedly paid $11.63 million for the home in 2017, upon signing with the Maple Leafs. The home boasts heated floors, eight fireplaces, and a huge 13-car garage. However, what sets it apart from other properties is the custom-built ice rink in the back garden. In 2019, when Marleau left Toronto, he put the home up for sale with an asking price of $11.88 million. That said, we were unable to find a confirmed sale price. Nonetheless, this also would have resulted in a loss.

Longevity played an enormous role in the amount of money Joe Thornton earned during his career. Thornton played in the NHL for 24 seasons, earning approximately $111.5 million in salary and bonuses, most of which came from the San Jose Sharks. With that in mind, here’s a breakdown of his contracts and salary across all the teams he played for.

Boston Bruins Contracts & Salary

When Joe Thornton joined the NHL in 1997, he signed a three-year rookie contract worth $2.78 million with the Boston Bruins. The deal included a 10% signing bonus, paid out evenly over three years, which meant Thornton earned $925,000 per year during his rookie contract.

In 2000, Joe signed another three-year deal with the Bruins, valued at $5.88 million, which more than doubled his average annual salary. This was followed by a one-year, $5.5 million contract for the 2003/04 season. Thornton didn’t receive any compensation in the 2004/05 season due to the NHL lockout. His final contract with Boston was worth $20 million over three years; however, he was traded to the San Jose Sharks after just one season. As a result, Joe Thornton earned a total of $20.8 million with the Boston Bruins in salary and bonuses.

San Jose Sharks Contracts & Salary

Thornton finished up the two final years of his contract with the Sharks, securing an additional $13.3 million. The following three contracts of his career were all structured in a relatively similar fashion. Each agreement was three years long and valued between $20.25 million and $21.6 million. This led the Canadian to typically earn an average of $7 million per year over the next nine NHL seasons, although there were some slight variations.

In 2017, after these contracts concluded, Thornton was 38 years old and had suffered a knee injury midway through the year. Beginning to show his age, the Sharks weren’t keen on offering him any further multi-year agreements. Instead, they kept Thornton signed to one-year deals, finishing his tenure with the club after the 2019/20 season. Joe Thornton played fourteen seasons with the San Jose Sharks, earning a total of $89.3 million with the team.

Additional Contracts

After leaving San Jose, Thornton played two more seasons in the league, earning $700,000 with the Toronto Maple Leafs and $750,000 with the Florida Panthers.

Real Estate

In 2008, Joe Thornton paid $2 million for a 6,422-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bathroom property in Los Gatos, California. The home, built in 2011, sits on 1.36 acres and features an infinity pool with panoramic mountain views. He owned the property for well over a decade, eventually listing it for $9.5 million in April 2021. At that price, it didn’t attract a buyer, and after several price reductions, he let it go for $8.7 million. Ultimately, he made a ton of profit on the sale.

Summary

Joe will always be remembered as a talented hockey player and superb captain. With his immense talent and leadership, Joe has left his mark on the NHL. After a career breaking records, it is hard to tell what Joe will get up to next, but given his history, it’ll be something big.

Tampa Bay Lightning Salary

In 1998, Vincent Lecavalier signed a three-year rookie contract worth $2.925 million with the Tampa Bay Lightning. For his first three seasons in the NHL, Lecavalier earned $975,000/year. In 2001, he negotiated a new contract with Tampa Bay, guaranteed $10.2 million over four years. The deal increased his average annual salary to $2.55 million. However, most of the value ($6 million) was paid out in the fourth year.

Lecavalier’s next contract at Tampa continued the upward trend, with a value of $27.5 million over four years. The agreement increased his average annual salary from $2.55 million to $6.875 million. Vincent earned the entire $27.5 million under the deal, bringing his total salary from 1998 through 2008 to $43.7 million.

In 2009, Lecavalier signed an 11-year, $85 million contract with Tampa Bay. Fortunately for Vincent, the contract was fully guaranteed because, four years in, the Lightning were looking to trade him. From 2009 to 2013, he earned $10 million/year and $40 million in total, before reaching a buyout agreement with Tampa Bay. The team bought out the remainder of Lecavalier’s contract for $32.67 million. As a result, he earned $72.67 million of the $85 million on his deal in just four years of playtime.

Philadelphia Flyers Salary

After reaching the buyout agreement with the Lightning, Vincent Lecavalier signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. The agreement included an $8.5 million signing bonus, allowing a significant portion to be paid in the first couple of years. Vincent earned $6 million in 2013, $6 million in 2014, and $2.25 million for part of the 2015/16 season.

Los Angeles Kings Salary

Lecavalier was traded to the Los Angeles Kings halfway through the 2015/2016 NHL season. He earned another $2.25 million before the season closed out and announced his retirement in June 2016.

During his NHL career, Vincent Lecavalier earned $128.1 million in salary, of which $103.9 million was earned while playing for the Tampa Bay Lightning. He’s ranked 7th on the list of players with the highest career earnings.

Endorsements

Between 2010 and 2015, Vincent Lecavalier was consistently ranked by Forbes among the highest-paid players in the NHL. During this period, he typically earned between $150,000 and $250,000 per year off the ice, with 2013 and 2014 at the higher end. At the time, this wouldn’t have been a significant sum compared to the earnings of NBA and NFL athletes. However, it still represented between 2% and 3% of his annual income.

Regarding which brands he partnered with, Lecavalier’s most notable endorsement deal was with Liquid Nutrition. He signed with the brand in 2011 and also received an equity stake in the company. However, it appears the company went out of business in 2015, filing for bankruptcy and eventually dissolving. In other words, it probably wasn’t a profitable venture for Lecavalier.

Real Estate

Before he sold it, Vincent Lecavalier’s luxurious home in Tampa, Florida, was located on Davis Islands and boasted a spacious 7,636 square feet. It featured a climate-controlled wine room, a workout room, six bedrooms, and seven bathrooms. The retired Yankees superstar Derek Jeter resides in an equally luxurious house nearby on the same street. Vincent sold his property for $4.5 million to take up residence in Philadelphia.

Philanthropy

In 2007, Vincent Lecavalier gave back to the community by donating $3 million to support the construction of a new All Children’s Hospital facility in St. Petersburg, Florida. The center was named the Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center in his honor.
