He's well off. No doubt about that. But there are some credible reports out there saying that there's no way he's a billionaire. They did the math on all his failed businesses and what he actually made, going by the papers available to them. Some say he's no better off than the original 400 millions inherited from his father. Still a tidy sum, but still more or less pointing to a big fat zero under his own steam.
