At this point, we're only at $150 million dollars generated by the sale of Led Zeppelin IV, which is far shy of the $575 million that Stairway To Heaven allegedly earned on its own. $10 million was estimated for Synchronization (use in Film, TV and commercials) but even then, we're only at $160 million for the entire album.
Could the additional $400 million come from radio airplay? I'll need to open some old databases but it's very possible that Stairway to Heaven earned an average of $10,800,000 per year in Performance Royalties (Radio Play) over that 37 year period.

I wonder if some of the money they are claiming
Stairway made comes from the
Song Remains the Same film and soundtrack? The film been released a couple of times to theaters and also DVD and Blu-Ray. The soundtrack is probably in most Zep fans' collections, too.
