Singer Robin Thicke and company had the time of their lives in the visual for their monster hit "Blurred Lines," which not only broke several records and hit platinum status, but it also earned the collective a few Grammy nods in the process. Aside from Tip's awkward two-step in the clip – reminiscent of Redd Foxx and all – the song was just about everywhere in the summer of 2013.

Whether it was a regular night at the club, a cruise-ship or bar mitzvah, "Blurred Lines" certainly reigned supreme during that year—leading all the way up to the controversial Beetlejuice suit, too. With the song reaching monumental success in regards to the charts, one thing was for certain; all eyes were going to be glued to Robin Thicke. And, yes, this was the case. A heap of problems followed, such as marital woes with Paula Patton and, well, a depressing album which didn't too well sales wise.

The song, however, stirred up a modern day soap opera drama of sorts. Shortly after the late Marvin Gaye's family caught wind of the song, and after it achieved tons of accolades, the singer's estate/family filed a lawsuit claiming the single bared a striking similarity to the 1977 song, "Got To Give It Up." What followed was some shade from the "Lost Without You" singer, as Thicke claimed he was too high during the recording process and that he didn't even write the number, giving the full writing credit to Pharrell Williams.

The Gaye family is presently seeking $40 million in alleged damages, and with the trial back on track from a brief hiatus, some tidbits about the financial breakdown among the three parties have been revealed to the jurors. So how much did Robin, Pharrell, and Tip make from this gargantuan single of theirs? Well, try somewhere in the ballpark of $16,675,690 in profits.

According to the testimony, here's how the money was dispersed. It was reported that $5 million went to Thicke himself, another $5 million went to Pharrell, and $704,000 came to T.I. The documents claim that the record companies (Interscope, UMG Distribution and Star Trak) split the rest of the money, with a Universal Music exec taking account for approximately $6.9 million.

It should be also noted that, according to Universal Music's Senior VP of Finance Jason Scott Gallien, the song cost over $6.5 million in overhead (9.6 percent of the company's expenses). With T.I. and Pharrell set to take the stand later today, uh, things could get pretty crazy—if they haven't already—that is.
