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 focus on different aspects of Plant's music career:

• Trolcharm Limited handles "performing arts"
• Sons of Einion Limited manages "sound recording and music publishing activities"

This significant payout coincides with several notable developments:

1. The upcoming release of "Becoming Led Zeppelin" documentary in February
2. The recent sale of a 10% stake in Led Zeppelin's catalog by Helen Grant (daughter of former manager Peter Grant)
   • The sale reportedly focused on masters rights, excluding publishing
   • Previous reports suggested a value of approximately $10.6 million (£8.5 million)

Plant's earnings reflect his extensive career, including both Led Zeppelin classics and successful solo ventures like his 1988 album "Now and Zen." The 76-year-old musician continues to maintain control of both companies, with family members serving as directors.

Note: These dividend payments are specific to the 2024 fiscal year, with no similar payments reported for 2023.
