Robert Plant’s Reported $800 Million Rejection for a Led Zeppelin Reunion

Where do you ever get the stones to tell your colleagues that they're not going to get a take of 800 million dollars because you said so? According to reports, super rich guy Richard Branson offered 800 million dollars for a Led Zeppelin reunion, and these same reports say that Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham agreed to sign, while Robert Plant did not.

You can read about the particulars by clicking on the link above. If it's true Plant turned the offer down, how he could possibly do that to the other guys? I know Led Zeppelin took in every dime that was coming to them because of the business acumen of their manager Peter Grant (and the fact that I think he carried around a baseball bat at all times and wasn't afraid to use it.) Nobody needs to hold a fundraising dinner for these guys but, come on, 800 million?!

How do you take away that kind of money from former colleagues? I've got to assume these guys aren't the best of friends at this point, but what could they have done to make Plant take at least 100 million away from them. Inquiring minds need to know.
