According to Oikotimes.com, Lordi mastermind Mr. Lordi has earned his first million euros (approximately $1.28 million), reports the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat. The group's "Hard Rock Hallelujah" single has been sold over 300,000 copies all across Europe. Meanwhile, Lordi's latest album, "The Arockalypse", spent 11 weeks at the top of the Finnish album chart and has shifted more than 70,000 units in Finland alone. In the rest of Europe, "The Arockalypse" is believed to have sold around 250,000 copies. On September 20, a new version of "The Arockalypse" will be released, including a special DVD featuring footage from the Eurovision Song Contest, which Lordi won in May.

There is also a lot of other Lordi merchandise on the market already, including books, clothes and comics, and soon there will be a softdrink called Lordi Cola. The drink is expected to be a huge success in Finland, where it is projected to sell over million bottles in the first year. Mr. Lordi will naturally collect his share of every bottle of Lordi Cola that is sold and he continues to receive royalties every time songs from "The Arockalypse" are played on the radio.
