Many people who know him or have interviewed him say the same thing. One of his firmest rules has been to NEVER spend his own money on projects.
In fact, the picture is becoming more clear that he lies constantly about how rich he is, and he is attracted to Putin, and other rich despots, because he wants to have them accept him as being as rich and powerful.
but he isn't and never has been.

Protecting his "brand" has been his constant motivation, which is why all the NDAs and all the lawsuits against anyone who even looks as if they are gonna tell the truth about him.
