Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. It is Super Tuesday. So what? Well, we might see exactly who will run against President Trump in November.

But then again, we might not. Democrats will vote in Alabama. America and Samoa, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. There are more than 1,300 delegates up for grabs today, about 34% of the nationwide total needed. 1,991 delegates are what a candidate must get to win the nomination. for president. So, here's what you need to know about Super Tuesday. Latest polls have Sanders up in California, Texas, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Colorado. California and Texas alone allocate 643 delegates, nearly half of today's total.

The Golden State is a lock for Bernie Sanders, being the most liberal state in the Union. But Joe Biden is competing in Texas. The former Vice President holds a slid. lead in North Carolina, and is being boosted by black voters in places like Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas. Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar dropped out of the race and are helping Joe Biden. Their support could be enough to keep him close to Bernie Sanders. Now, the biggest question of the day, billionaire Mike Bloomberg, Mayor Mike's strategy of sitting out the first four primaries, and caucuses could pay off. Mayor Bloomberg had a tough time during his first two debates, but has the money to overcome the negative press. He's already spent $400 million on his campaign

and is prepared to go into the billions, I hear. He has gone up in the polls in recent weeks, but it is unclear whether his strategy will translate into actual votes today. Bloomberg is a technocrat campaigning on his ability to manage the country. He's not an ideological guy, but he does believe in the Green New Deal, and he wants to ban guns as much as possible. That's going to hurt him in the South. Ongoing, the race will likely come down to the killer bees, Bernie Biden and Bloomberg. It is clear the party establishment will, will do anything to avoid running a socialist against Donald Trump. So Bernie Sanders is not a lock, no matter how many votes he gets today.

I don't expect Bloomberg to drop out, and I don't expect him to do all that well today. Joe Biden's fortunes depend on his doing well enough to raise money. If he gets clocked on Super Tuesday, Joe is in trouble. All and all, some drama in America. Donald Trump would like to run against the socialist Sanders, but Joe Biden is the establishment's guy.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings me something you might not know. The music industry is much different from the early days of record sales and concert tickets. Today, more than 90% of audiences tune in digitally through streaming services, satellite radio, or YouTube to listen to music. For most artists, it's hard to earn a living. Back in the year 2000, physical sales, that's vinyl, CDs, audio cassettes, ranked in $13.3 billion, one year alone. But in 2019, that number dropped to just $800 million, a 93% decline because of high tech. amazing. So if you want to make money in the music business, you have to go into other businesses and you have to go on tour. Let's start with Madonna. Her net worth is estimated to be $600 million.

The material girl is diversified since her debut back in 1983, writing children's books and running a record label. But her touring is most lucrative. However, this year, Madonna in her sixth Decade is having health problems. Rock band U2 is making big money on the road. Its tour earned $70 million in 2019 alone. Leedsinger Bono's personal fortune placed at $700 million, thanks to his private equity firm, Elevation Partners. They were one of the first to invest in Facebook. Next up, hip-hop artist Dr. Dre. He's worth $800 million as well. The rapper sold his beats headphones equipment to Apple for $3 billion back in 2014. More from the world of hip-hop, Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy, one of rap's first entrepreneurs.

Combs went beyond music to invest in TV networks, liquor, and his own clothing line, all to the tune of an $820 million fortune. But that leaves him about $200 million shy of Jay-Z. hip-hop's first billionaire. His music catalog worth $75 million. Rest comes from investments, champagne clothing record labels. His company, Rock Nation, rep some of the biggest names in pro sports. Some artists still make their money, the old-fashioned way, royalties. Paul McCartney has written more than 30 number one songs, who's hit yesterday, has been covered 2,000 times. Sir Paul has 25,000 copyrights. He's the world's wealthiest rock star, 1.2,000.5,000.
