Nothing wrong with that because he’s got the money, and if that’s what it takes to keep his marriage together, it’s worth it but still…

not sure where you are, but here on the West Coast, this is typical of the real estate markets. Especially the high-end markets. If he bought it to sell, watch how many more millions he sells it for.
As for the rest, Stevie has admitted to how many millions over the years she's wasted on drugs and partying and paying for her posse to travel the world with her. Also, she gave away the rights to many of her songs, so those royalties weren't going to her. Besides Silver Springs (to her mom) for example, she gave at least some if not all right to Sara away (to Hernan I think, maybe others) and she's given rights to multiple other songs to various friends and family. Now, this was in the years before she went solo and got people like Howard Kaufman and Irving in her life. But many of the songs that should have sustained her financially through life are sustaining other people.
Christine made lots of money, but she also had to live off that money for almost 15 years with no new income coming in. And she spent a huge amount of her cash on totally renovating her giant estate in Kent (she's talked about how extensive the renovations were) and has had to recoup those expenditures in recent years going on tour and selling her catalog.
No idea what John's finances are, but seems like his pile of money isn't quite as big as some of the others (no songwriting royalties etc). No slight to him, he seems fine with what he's got.
Listen, I don't feel bad for any of them, least of all Mick.
