the Dane has in the past collaborated with international stars as Kylie Minogue, Nicki Minaj, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, but ’High Hopes’ is his biggest hit ever. And probably also the most lucrative:

– I do not really know how much, I am going to make it, but over here they say suggested, I have spoken with, that if one is number 1 on the radiocharten some weeks, so there is about 5 million dollars in it.

This is equivalent to 33 million dollars, as the man from Ronne, however, must share with a number of foreign colleagues, who helped to write the smash hit. The whole nine songwriters have a share in ’High Hopes’, but no one gets more of the pie than Jonas, who thinks that he ought to get counsel for a new house for his efforts.
