I just saw a interview with his producer and manager of the record Pete Waterman.

Pete said Rick gave up the biz even though he was at his peak and had a great future as he didnt really like the music industry publicity etc.

He went on to say that the record sold over 15 million copies and with his other hits made Rick a wealthy man.

Later he added that at the moment the rick roll hasnt really made any $$$$ but at the rate its going if it goes to a crazy amount like 90 million views they will all make some $$$$.

Pete seemed to indicate that youtube pay a very small fraction of a cent for the views ???to his production company... that was new to me ? maybe some have forced tubes to pay something even though its only a micro payment ?
