Per a separate site, it’s unclear exactly how much the entire Led Zeppelin catalog is worth today, but in 2016, in a court case involving copyright infringement of "Stairway to Heaven," it was revealed that the total revenue for the catalog was $58.5 million.

FWIW, based on the video and audio of Knebworth, that was a very off night.

There’s a lady who’s sure that glitters is gold
And she’s selling a 10% stake in Zeppelin....

While we're on the subject - favorite Led Zepplin album?

Led Zepplin III, with Houses of the Holy a distant second.

Nobody buys CDs anymore. Can one make money owning the work of a famous group today?

Good for the musicians and/or their estates, but I’m thinking the main market for Grade A Rock and Roll is still going to be Boomers, and most of us have already bought what we want from those archives.
I know some of the younger folks also like certain performers from that era,i.e. Zepplin, Bowie and Prince, but will that be enough to justify these high dollar aggreements? Time will tell.

If I buy it, do I get to meet what’s left of the band?

How did the douche Peter Grant get the band to give him that deal? I think he ended up ripping them off?

Every song in their catalog should be in the public domain by now.
