Bruce Dickinson is making an eye-watering wage from his unexpected side hustle.
The Iron Maiden rocker, 65, is a qualified pilot and is said to be raking in £400,000 a month from his aircraft maintenance company, Caerdav, which he has run since 2012.
According to Companies House, It is one of 13 directorships held by the musician. He told the Mirror: “I won’t go into the gory details, but it was a money pit for a long time.

“One of the reasons for that is that I was so busy working, trying to put money into it, that I wasn’t there long enough to make sure that people weren’t ripping me off. Anyway, I finally got much more focused on it, because it was costing a small fortune, and we turned it around. We’re making £400,000 net profit every month now, and we’re busy until the end of 2026.”

Bruce, who lives with his girlfriend Leana Dolci in Paris, has given up flying because he “don’t want to make Leana a widow before her time”. It comes after he was branded a “f**king a***hole by Sharon Osbourne. Mrs O has labelled claimed the rocker is “jealous” of her hubby Ozzy Osbourne.
Bruce and Sharon first fell out some 15 years ago when Maiden were headlining an Ozzfest tour and Bruce was accused of criticising Ozzy on stage. Bruce even said his band would never feature “in a reality show”, in an apparent dig at Black Sabbath man’s MTV series, The Osbournes.

She responded by encouraging the audience to throw eggs at him during a concert. Opening old wounds, Sharon now blasted: “Bruce Dickinson is a f**king pr**k. “Well, no, he’s not a p**k because a p***k’s nice. “He’s a f**king *sshole. Because the situation is he was on a tour called Ozzfest. And Ozzy Osbourne was paying him every night to perform. He accepted the gig.
“And every night he would go onstage and say bad things about Ozzy. And I thought, ‘You motherf**ker, now you’re gonna get it.’ And so I had about 20 people in the audience and a lot of them were nurses. And they all came down, and they f**king pelted the sh*t out of him.

“And he’s never apologised, he never even went up and said hello to Ozzy. The thing about him is that he is just so jealous. And always has been of Ozzy. And that’s his problem.”
