  • William Steinway’s diary: “Settlement with Paderewski, who behaves most nobly, giving even our porters $100. He invests $22,000 in Steinway Railway Company bonds, and takes $40,706 in drafts on Paris, and $4500 cash.”
  • Paderewski’s total earnings are $67,206, and Steinway & Sons made approximately $250,000 from the concerts alone, to say nothing of the increase of sales thanks to practical advertisement in the form of Paderewski’s concerts.
