Beyond the lyrics of Money was the lavish lifestyle that Waters and Gilmour actively pursued. Making gobs of money was always the motivation for those two. Play a lot of shows and make a lot of money. Syd Barrett’s drug fueld art rock experiments were an obstacle to commercial success and frankly the band was glad to move beyond them.
Both Gilmour and Waters are proud Socialists.
I think Rick Wright was the least money grubber in the band. Nick Mason has one of the most impressive Ferrari collections in the UK and also has business that owns planes for movies. He is a huge F1 and racing fan. Possibly one of the most middling drummers even compared to Ringo.
George was too and owned a McLaren F1 road car.
Socialist Gilmour gave away a rather expensive Ferrari a few years ago for charity. Waters is a very unpleasant man. His “tribute’ for Wright after he died was somewhat insulting.
