Their last album was panned – but the Arctic Monkeys can console themselves with a mountain of cash.

Despite negative reviews – including just two stars in rock bible Rolling Stone – for LP Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, the boys earned £3.25million each last year.

The Sheffield rockers’ accounts reveal the bumper cash pot after a gruelling year that saw them play 75 gigs.

Alex Turner’s new material may not have been as well received as smash debut Whatever You Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. But the tours reaped rewards with the band’s assets in the company Bang Bang Tour Services LLP rocketing from less than £2m up to £18m.

In means that after paying ­creditors the four-piece, who are all partners in the business, are left with £13m to share out equally.

The last big payout the band took was three years ago when they closed their old touring company and took out £1million each.

But their popularity after the release of their sixth album has shot up again, tripling their pay.

A financial expert said: “They have £13.7m in cash in the bank and are owed more than £4.2m.

"The company manages touring income and they have maximised the amount they get paid for gigs, which includes selling T-shirts and other merch as well as tickets.”

The band led by Alex, with Matt Helders on drums, Jamie Cook on guitar and Nick O’Malley on bass, formed in 2002 but did not release an album until 2006.

Over the next six years they made a further four albums – but took nearly five years to release the most recent offering.
