The standard is set by Stevie and Mick, who tolerate nothing less than the very best 5 star hotels (eta: the presidential suites of course because "I demand it"), private jets, never carrying a suitcase, etc. Neil doesn't strike me as that hung up on that stuff; nice hotels, yes, but the royal treatment Stevie demands and Mick loves is the next level up for sure. Not hard to get used to I imagine.

I agree that Stevie/Mick require a much higher level of hotel/travel etc. than Neil does. Neil is a very low maintenance guy; sort of an old-fashioned musician/artist who cares more about the craft then the amenities.
That being said, I'm sure that Neil is worth close to as much as Mick or John given all the royalties Neil gets and the lower cost of living that he's enjoyed (those fancy jets and hotels don't come cheap). "Don't Dream", "Song of The Lonely Mountain", "Something So Strong", and "I Got You" combined probably bring in close to 2 million a year in royalties.
