Jimmy Page received a £6.75 million dividend payment from one of the businesses he uses to collect royalties, accounts filed in the UK show.
Accounts published on March 26 by Classicberry, a UK business Page uses to collect royalties, show the business made a £6.75 million dividend payment to Page in the one-year period ending on March 31, 2024.
Page is not directly named in the accounts as receiving the payment. Instead, the publicly available filing says that “during the year, a dividend of £6,750,000 … was paid to the director.”
Page and his photographer daughter Scarlet Page are the only two directors of Classicberry, according to Companies House data. Filings show that Jimmy Page owns the entirety of Classicberry.
Classicberry’s dividend payment to Page is the first publicly disclosed dividend payment from the business since a £13.25 million dividend it paid to Page in 2016 that was included in the company’s 2017 accounts.
Classicberry was incorporated on February 12, 1982 and is used by Page to collect music royalties from his solo career.
The company was credited in the liner notes for Live at the Greek, the 2000 live album that Page released with The Black Crowes. The recent expanded box set release of the album was credited to “Classicberry & The Black Crowes Partnership”.
The dividend payment to Page follows LedZepNews’ January report that revealed Robert Plant had received a total of £7 million from two dividend payments that originated from Sons Of Einion and Trolcharm, two UK companies he owns.
A spokesman for Page did not respond to a request for comment.

There’s no way in hell Page earns that much in royalties from his solo career material alone , either a typo or misunderstanding ,it’s gotta be with Led zep royalties too.
The Firm and Page/Crowes ,and Unleaded never earned that kind of money in their prime ,let alone 30 years later.
I believe “his photographer daughter Scarlet Page” is actually his photographer WIFE.
His daughter is a famous photographer named Scarlet. His girlfriend is artist Scarlett Saber. His girlfriend is younger than his daughter.
Scarlet Page is his daughter and she’s a fabulous music photographer. He also has a very young girlfriend named Scarlet who is a talented poet.
Actually if you listen attentively to DEATH WISH 2
soundtrack and realize how focused Mr Page is
After watching the movie once
he went home and wrote the soundtrack
Instrument for instrument
score for score
note for note
frame for frame sequence for sequence there isn’t a better soundtrack anywhere
It’s per year apparently NOT per day! 🙄
Some have to work exploitive overtime to feed their kids and others record a childish set of beats for billions – Sometime there’ll be a real reckoning!!
It’s no different from people earning money royalties for writing books that you don’t like. This is the way it works, if no one buys your product, you would not make money, just because you don’t like certain music, it doesn’t make you right.
And you’ll still be no better off!!!
Jealousy is a curse.
If you don’t make it in today’s world it’s because you don’t want it bad enough. How many guitarists are as good as Jimmy? Not many. What do you do in the evening or weekends? Read? Study? Learn code? Learn a 2nd language? Court translators make a lot of money in the US. Don’t knock Jimmy for successfully working his ass off for more than half a century. If he wants to buy castles or comics it’s his business. Find your place in the world and don’t think it’s anyone’s responsibility but yours to feed your children.
Slight difference of opinions here:FM not just AM;LP (Long Play) meant an entire ‘LP’ is playable & IF a Station wants to, they can -& all day long- too.
Scarlett is his photographer daughter, not wife. He is with Scarlett Sabet a poet.
Guess he likes the name Scarlett!
Why bother? It’s nice & all but it’s clearer just by a glance, hmm?
Agreed! That’s the machine for you… Neo/ autocrats and related organized international crime..backing such entities as Diddy etc..its tragic..the reckoning is on!! It will take time… May the force be with us..naive people need to wake up … That’s why we have to work our arses off to create real works..to offset.The same ol’ formula is like listening to Kraft plastic cheese …some of us actually have integrity.. Sheeple do not know unless they want to…hard one to deal with but true.
if any rock icon who had a solo career which lacked direction it sure was his a mish mash of fits and starts and stops as for robert plant now thats what i call a solo career
At least they tax big in the UK. Pays for common peeploids needs. Or did they figure out how to dodge that ?
The late Audrey Meadows was the female star of the Honeymooners TV show from the 50’s .There were only 39 shows.Her brother was a lawyer who managed to get her royalties in ‘ Perpetuity ‘ from the episodes which are still shown today ..all around the world ! Ms Meadows became a Billionairess because of this . I don’t know how the brother wangled that incredible deal ?
I own 1 Plant Solo CD & it’s re the Art. I don’t think it’s been played. I kinda wish all of those ZEP Soundboards weren’t made available due to the ridiculous amount of sloppy Leads by Page-as if he’d never met a bottle of Jack Daniels be didn’t get to know before each of the Shows/Sets & Percy ‘only’had a temporary ‘bit of the flu’ 24/7.
That crap was just ripping off the USA. Ever since ‘Stairway’I imagine,they were getting ‘Fan Mail’ by Holy Believers who’d been very unhappy w/🎼 they thought was Satan based & I’m sure they kept it quiet so no one heard ‘What kind of person thinks Fireworks (as heard through the Vocal Mics btw) was a good idea?’ & asking people to point them out to the SECURITY or we’re going to stop & go home. We came to make Money-I mean Music & if that’s not what you want…
Truth: the difference between a Drunk in Buffalo,NY & a Man or Kid in china w/ some firecrackers is the riddance of Evil Ghosts or keeping Spirits away from the start & that was way before Lennon, et al.
There seems to be a number of jealous people who don’t understand talent. It isn’t just Jimmy’s guitar playing. He is an awesome producer, writer, etc etc. Get over yourselves. He deserves whatever he has bal*s enough to fight for.
In the early days these super groups learned very little money. Sabbath and purple. Hell even Elvis got ripped off. Rre releases. Remixes and European a dcworldwide editions of albums. Coloured vinyls. Remastered. Shaped. Calendar pack editions cd sales and cassette is back .with vinyl at 30 pound a go and picture disc editions too. The. Blu-ray. Dvd. Boxsets. Merchandise t shirts etc it’s not hard to make such money
Tax in the UK isx40 per cent so he gets😅 half. Not a massive payday really . I’m surexel is. Michael Jackson and prince all long go exearn billions
He’s not taken dividends for around10 years. So, if he’s taken ALL his royalties, from all his bands, and not left any in the company, then that’s £675,000 pa in royalties.
The best
Today’s generation have no idea how big led zeppelin were!!! And never bothered with singles
He worked at his craft since he was a boy.He out in the time and had the talent. Just because you can’t make your life choices pay as well should have no reflection on him. As for tax “dodging” in the UK. Maybe you should consider who you put in office?
Jimmy Page has done so much for music that it’s hard to measure. Any accolades and monetary rewards are deserving as he had the insight to reap the benefits. His solos amaze me as much today as they did 50 years ago. His riffs are darn good too. Others agree?
Say what you like about JP however his music and influences will live on well after we have popped our clogs……maybe sooner for me as I’m 67 and a life long fan of Led Zeppelin and it’s incredibly talented band members. There is only one, Stairway to Heaven 😁
The man’s an artist..as for John Paul Jones he is like a modern day equivalent to motzart.Everyone who knows,knows they have earned their royalty in music.
The way people react to someone being successful ,nowadays just goes to show this country is finished. it is always someone else’s responsibility to provide for others not themselves.
Too many for grapes. Jimmy has earned every dime he ever made. The genius behind LZ is involved in so many diverse projects within the industry. Solo career notwithstanding, he has also earned his legend status, his greatness cannot be denied.
He hasn’t been involved in anything for a long time. Posing for Gibson ads doesn’t count.
Well, I hope he uses it to pay back the hundreds of black guitarist and bands that he stole all of the Led Zeppelin music from and just recreated it. Basically Led Zeppelin is a fucking cover band.
He is a God. Get over it.
Jimmy Page was a smart business man.
