Jimmy's writing has sent me all over the world to appreciate rare cultures and places. These experiences are invaluable and I consider his creativity and music one of my main influences to do so.
Those products are what enables him to continue going to the places and having the adventures that influence you.

He certainly doesn't make a fortune from selling cd's and I'll bet just his cut of the 25ish concerts a year wouldn't do it either. He has to continually market to continually bring in new people to replace the continuous stream of people who quit attending and buying.

It is exTREMely expensive to own the jet and the big boat that allow him to get to those locales not to mention the traveling circus and perpetual motion of business that big money requires. He makes a lot, but he spends alot, much of it on those adventures that influence his songs and books you like

I have to disagree..a lot of people have done a lot of things that he has and does with normal people money and no yacht and no plane. Besides, his best music (IMHO) comes from when he was struggling down in KW...

I'm sure the list of things Jimmy has NOT branded is much larger.

There's no Margaritaville sunscreen, fly rods, bass boats, wine, barbeque sauce, hair shampoo, conditioner, face moisturizer, body scrub, flavored lubricant, coffee, donuts, pistols, knifes, Sailor Dan action figures, hangover cures, chewing gum or surf boards……. Just to name a few
