    It’s all stock assets, so he IS a billionaire, he just cant access those billions unless he liquidates his stock assets.

    Funny, I can’t access the number on my bank account either unless I liquidate that. Sometimes it’s soothing to know even billionaires don’t actually have a Scrooge McDuck style money bin with actual cash in it to swim around in.

      A man with stocks as savings he needs to liquidate to use is the same as a raccoon with a giant fluffy cloud of cotton candy who will try to wash it when he finally wants to eat it.
