After a legal battle the shares have now been diversified and the income used to fund a welfare centre and services for the elderly.

Ryan Roxie (born in Sacramento, California, December 1, 1965 is an American guitarist/singer-songwriter currently residing in Stockholm, Sweden. He is the founding member of Roxie 77 and probably most well known for his guitar work with Alice Cooper, Slash, Casablanca, Dad's Porno Mag plus many more. Along with his writing, recording, and touring schedule, he is also developing a new TV web magazine show entitled 'All Excess with Ryan Roxie'. Ryan is currently preparing for the Alice Cooper 2012 Tour.

Roxie was born in Sacramento, California and grew up in the East Bay in a small town called Pleasanton. Ryan's father, Polish, used to play trumpet and his mother was a drummer in her high school marching band. Around age five Roxie picked up the guitar but was more interested in drums. It wasn't until he was around eleven or twelve that he started taking guitar seriously. Roxie often sites Keith Partridge as an early influence.

All of Roxie's heroes were in magazines like Circus and Kerrang and it seemed like they had the easiest and best jobs. Roxie's first electric guitar came as a Christmas present one year, a cream-colored Stratocaster. After the Strat, Roxie acquired his first Gibson Les Paul, and to this day Roxie still considers the Gold Top his "first girlfriend". He went on to form a band called Star Fire with friends Matt Clarke and Mike Pavlick.
