Joss Stone Takes $4.4 Million Paycheque....
Soul star Joss Stone banked a salary of more than $4.4 million (£2.2 million) in 2007, paying herself the generous sum from her company profits despite a decline in takings.
The You Had Me singer, 21, owns Joss Limited, a firm that deals with revenue from her music publishing and concerts.
New figures published on Wednesday (25Jun08) show Joss Limited's profits down from $958,510 (£479,255) in the previous tax year to $549,752 (£274,876) in 2007.
However, Stone's profits from publishing rights and performance fees have risen from $3.2 million (£1.6 million) to $6.2 million (£3.1 million) in the past year.
But the falling profit margin doesn't appear to have affected Stone's paycheque - she appears to have paid herself a huge $3.2 million plus a further $1.29 million (£648,500) in dividends for a year's work.
