According to C.K. Lendt, who was part of the KISS management team from 1976 to the late 80's and author of the book "KISS and Sell: The Making of a SuperGroup", Eric was only paid around $100,000 yearly. He would get songwriting royalties on any song he wrote. KISS through the 80's BARELY broke even in all areas and were very close to flat broke for most of the 80's and early 90's. Eric was not a "full" memeber of KISS. He was a "paid musician" just like all the other members who joined the band. Vinnie Vincent, Mark St. John, Brucke Kulick and Eric Singer. KISS, in the LEGAL world consists of Gene and Paul. Peter and Ace HAD existing interests in KISS after their departure but were bought out. Its really SAD that Eric Carr realistically never even came close to being a millionare or even RICH for that matter. He played in KISS for 12 years, and if he saved EVERY DIME he made, he would have had $1,200,000 total. Im thinking he probably spent money on things like food, heat, a place to live, toilet paper....you know STUPID ROCK STAR STUFF.
