He is a good businessman, but he does’t not get “paid’ - he owns his show in effect, with all kinds of distribution and profit sharing agreements by way of Clear Channel and Premiere Radio. He is also immune to ratings for the most part, as they go up and down, but his show’s revenues and his advertisers results are consistently doing great.
Beyond that, he’s got more money now than he’ll ever be able to spend, thus, he is not particularly concerned with ratings and not at all with pay. He will follow his instincts. That’s always been his busienss model. The key is for Allen West or Mark Levin or something to make his instincts start to think this thing was fraud on a massive scale.
