His investments and stocks do provide income (although not a salary). Regardless, my earlier statement still stands.

Don’t mean to get into the argument here, but the way that people like him have spending money is to take loans out against their investments, so they go into debt and don’t pay taxes on that. The banks don’t care because if they need to cover the debt they can just sell some of the shares.

I wouldn’t spend too much effort arguing with them.
