I actually think the opposite. While he may have contributed a great amount to the artistic value, the music, it was Jon that fueled their business decisions and his decisions are why they make the money that they do.

He owns the stage, making it cheaper and more profitable. He created various ticket packages, again increasing profit. So on and so forth. Very smart guy. Richie may have a great music mind, but Jon was the money. Lots of great musicians out there make jack, I don't think anyone can argue that.
