Because Chico needed the money

When a performer takes a job solely for the money.

Inspired by Gilbert Gottfried's impression of an old Groucho Marx where he explains why the Marx Brothers took jobs on terrible projects late in their career.
"Why would Orson Wellles agree to be in that animated Transformers movie?"

Loving The Money Pit

Acknowledging that Object A is inferior to Object B in every way, yet preferring Object A. The phrase was coined on Family Guy when Peter Griffin used it in part to explain why he did not like The Godfather.

Shake the money tree in a wine cave

Fancy political fundraisers for rich donors. In 2019 photos surfaced in which Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, IN was seated with rich donors in a Napa valley wine cave for a fundraising event. During Dec. 2019 debate, Elizabeth Warren attacked Buttigieg for appealing to rich donors instead of grassroots supporters by using this imagery. A few minute later, Andrew Yang stated his campaign reform policy would increase women and minority elected to offices around the country because "they don't have to shake the money tree in a wine cave", gesturing to Buttigieg.
You will have many many more women run for office because they don't have to shake the money tree in a wine cave.
