Frampton's first few solo albums weren't as successful as he would have wanted, but that all changed with his double-live album released in 1976, "Frampton Comes Alive!" Data reported by The Richest shows his 1975 earnings at $500,000, which catapulted to more than $8 million the following year after the release of his live album.
