He doesn't have a prenup so Dorothea could walk and take half of everything he owns. The band are financially secure and artistically capable of doing their own thing, but they keep coming back to the band. Jon simply can't be the monster that some of you make him out to be. If he was, then every person in his life would have to be a codependent imbecile to stick with him for decades at a time. His wife, his band, his employees... they all come back for more.

It's funny, people try to reign it in when others are having a go at Richie, they try to be impartial by suggesting that it could be Jon blah blah, when there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest Jon is at fault. The line "we just don't know" gets banded about a lot, but the little we do know does not implicate Jon!
