Legendary English musician Sting receives massive ongoing royalty payments from Sean "P. Diddy" Combs stemming from the unauthorized sampling of The Police's 1983 smash hit "Every Breath You Take" on Diddy's 1997 tribute track "I'll Be Missing You". Because the sample was cleared retroactively after the song became a massive global chart-topper, Sting secured one hundred percent of the publishing royalties, amounting to thousands of dollars every single day in continuous passive income.
