This is me;
I was looking at a horse I might back today sired by TDH and it set me wondering how a top 3yo contributes to someone like ALB's wealth and whether once you get a good one like TDH, does it soon make one's racing pay.

Too Darn Hot contributes millions to Lord Lloyd Webber’s wealth, primarily through multi-million pound stud fees and high-value yearling sales, rather than his racing prize money (£1.32m). However, this equine income represents a modest fraction of his overall net worth, which largely stems from theatrical royalty revenues and real estate. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The financial legacy of Too Darn Hot breaks down into specific revenue streams:
- Stallion Valuations: After a stellar racing career, Lloyd Webber sold a 50% share of Too Darn Hot to Sheikh Mohammed’s Darley operation for an undisclosed multi-million sum. As a shuttle stallion, his service fees are highly lucrative: he commands a fee of $275,000 (AUD) in Australia and £90,000 to £100,000 in the UK. Lloyd Webber receives a generous cut of these substantial annual covering fees for his retained share. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Pedigree Sales: Too Darn Hot's bloodline continues to yield massive windfalls for Lloyd Webber's Watership Down Stud. For example, a younger full-brother to Too Darn Hot sold for 3.5 million guineas (£3.675 million) to Qatar Racing. [1]
- Progeny Success: Yearlings sired by Too Darn Hot regularly break the seven-figure mark at auction, including a colt that fetched $2.2 million at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. [1, 2]
