On the other hand, if you are sued and you can loose a hunbdreed millions, no lawyer will work for free, they will charge Phil Collins a percentage of what he can loose with a very high advance payment.
Mike and Tony have not done any really profitable thing in the last 13 or 14 years and when you have more money, you expend much more.
I don't believe they are in bankrupt but their huge fortunes may be in risk of becoming simply small fortunes and when you're rich enough, this must be terribly fightening.
And even if they are rich, everybody wants to be richer, look at Bill Gates, he has enough money for him and probably ten more generations but still he's working for more.

I really don't believe that they are touring for the money. And I don't believe that they write songs to make hits.
The three of them (again, all are responsible) have made the music you dislike for over 25 years. This is just what they do. Call it what you will, but it's not a commercial pursuit with musical overtones. It's music that is commercially successful. There's a difference.
There is no Monopoly here. What Genesis is doing has zero effect on the purchase habits for any other artist.
How did Bill Gates get in the conversation? I find the analogy irrelevant.
