He makes no money on this.
The guy is the Mercedes of the Pro Audio world but is treated like the Renault Le Car.

Maybe you should ask him if he feels this way. As a musician there is nothing I enjoy more than watching someone enjoy my music, or even better... play it on there instrument... Rupert Neve may feel the same way about his designs. They are popular, so popular that everyone wants a peice of it in one way or another...
The world isn't all about Money, He has such a talent that he could probably walk into any audio design firm on the planet and get a job. That in itself to me, would mean more than any amount of money ever could.
I also find the notion that if a "neve designed" preamp or peice of audio gear doesn't sound like a 1081/1073 its a bad product very amusing. I enjoy my 9098 DMP and Purepath channel strip very much... sure it doesn't sound like a 1073, but then again... its not spose too.
