Robert Plant, former Led Zeppelin frontman, received approximately £7 million ($8.8 million) in royalty dividends during the fiscal year ending March 31st, 2024, according to Companies House filings.

The payments came from two companies owned by Plant:

• Trolcharm Limited (established 1981): £3 million ($3.75 million)
• Sons of Einion Limited (established 1997): £4 million ($5 million)

Both companies handle different aspects of Plant's music business:

• Trolcharm Limited focuses on performing arts
• Sons of Einion Limited manages sound recording and music publishing activities

This significant payout coincides with several notable developments:

• The upcoming release of "Becoming Led Zeppelin" documentary in February
• Recent sale of a 10% stake in Led Zeppelin's catalog by Helen Grant (daughter of former manager Peter Grant)
• The catalog stake sale reportedly completed last summer, though the buyer and final price remain undisclosed
• Previous reports suggested an offer of approximately $10.6 million (£8.5 million) for the IP

Plant's revenue streams include both Led Zeppelin classics and successful solo work, such as his 1988 album "Now and Zen." The 76-year-old musician remains actively involved in both companies, serving as director alongside family members.
