Yea it does but the Ramones didn't choose to have the same career as a teen idol like justin bieber so it's expected they are worth less in dollars..

And it's not that sad for a punk band the Ramones did really well and even reached an iconic status Bieber on the othet hand was just the next teen idol fad to make it big, and yea there is alot of money rolling in the pop industry way more than in the punk industry but most of these pop acts are disposable and replaceable, Remember the Jonas brothers? or Hanson? or the New kids on the block? all of them were big profitable acts back in their day but they never amounted any credibility like the Ramones did..
