I wonder about Taylor. Maybe he got paid big time last year and for the Exile re issue including Plundered. He lives in some small shaggy apt. right?

That's a strange way to describe a house in the country...

ok but in that article someone posted things sounded pretty bad, financially

Sigh... That's the way that article was designed, the reporter gets paid for handing in 'shocking revelations' to his editor.
It has been said that tabloids attract readers and generate profit by doing this. The English ones in particular, they have a terrible reputation.

I know Taylor didn't get composing credits, but he does get performer's royalties for his Stones tunes. If my co-worker and her former husband were living comfortably off this oldie from the 50's, Mick T. must have a decent—if not princely—income.

It is worth noting that the cheques from Performing Rights Societies (a system of European origin) amount to very little unless you have an official writer's credit on a major hit.
In US the non-composers (performing artists) were never entitled to any payments for public performance of their sound recordings. In other words, the authors would receive royalties when their songs got played on the radio, but not the other bandmembers.

SoundExchange is beginning to include the non-composers too but they base their calculations on digital transmissions only. So terrestrial radio in US does not result in any $$ for composers, musicians or performing artists. Satellite radio broadcast is charged at a lower rate than internet radio.

So I'm afraid your conclusion was inaccurate.
Then why did Mick Taylor go to the expense of suing the other Stones over his guitar work that "surfaced" on TATTOO YOU ten years after he played it? And on only two songs on the album (Tops and Waiting on a Friend). In the Discography section of ACCORDING TO THE ROLLING STONES under Tattoo You, when listing the personnel on the album, after Mick Taylor's name the other Stones irreverently put: "(legal action!!)" (p. 352.)

The section labeled "Performers' Right" here >>> [www.venturenavigator.co.uk] suggests Mick had good reason to sue.

Even Pete Best ended up a multimillionaire after finally appearing on some BEATLES ANTHOLOGY songs.

The fact that the Perf royalties, which are collected by the PRO's (from radio stations etc) in each country and paid out to the musicians, are not enough to live on does not mean the Stones can just take the tracks in which MT's playing is incorporated and press records from those without paying Taylor his share of royalties over sales of said records - in accordance with the agreement they signed with him when they founded Rolling Stones Records.
I believe he had a lawyer write a letter to them to enquire if they were planning to pay him or nor. He did not, however, press legal action.
You need to look at the difference between Performing royalties and Mechanical royalties. The Stones can not interfere with Taylor's Performing royalties once PRS establishes that he does play on the record, even if the Stones intentionally leave out the personnel details which they normally list on the record sleeve (or in the booklet).

By the way, the book 'According to the Rolling Stones' is irreverent and negatively biased towards Taylor on multiple accounts.

I cannot disagree with you there. But if you get upset by every ridiculous question posted on this board, you'll have a stroke. We don't wanna lose you, man.
