Booking his own tours, recording/producing his own albums, I'd be willing to bet he has made out as good or better than dudes that are getting paid scale for the same skin time.
I went to NAMM 2 years ago with my friend who was playing with Bernard Purdie at the Hilton... There was a badge issue and I ended up chilling with Mr. P for like 3 hours while his manager worked it out. Other than the great time I had, I gathered that he really would rather not have to travel to L.A. to play a hotel bar starting at 11pm, but "you only get paid once, no matter how much it's played".
