Maybe. But consider from his side that his money is invested with her so there is an element of financial risk to him, and his money could be earning interest if he still had it. He also gets to do the legwork of advertising, working with buyers (and presumably businesses), handling queries and financial transactions... All this in one person, which is not equivalent to a singer's manager or agent; once the singer pays the manager/agent, the promoter, the buyer, the record label, the manufacturer and all the other costs of doing business, that's a heck of a lot more than the 15% for the agent.
