10. Jimmy Buffett: $400 million
Buffett has been drawing his faithful Parrotheads and their battery-powered margarita blenders to ampitheaters every summer since 1976 via lucrative tours with titles like “Last Mango in Paris,” “Beach House on the Moon,” and “Summerzcool.” (2011’s tour raked in $22 million). If you want an ersatz version of the experience, you might stop in at one of the many locations of Buffett’s Cheeseburger In Paradise chain restaurants, located off an interstate exit near you. If you need a satirical primer for these khaki-clad weekend pilgrims, check out 30 Rock’s “Crabcatchers” episode.
