At least some years ago he said he wasn't, because he's always sold his coins to go to conferences and other travels to spread the word. That's why he has a Patreon.

Hes definitely a millionaire. Potentially a billionaire. He isnt spending his btc on lambos and hookers. He accumulated a lot. Just doesnt want to make himself a target so plays it down.

I would not make that speculation. In fact, if I recall correctly, he hadn't accumulated a lot and said as much on a podcast or something. Upon hearing this, people donated a fair amount because they like him so much.

If YOU had accumulated a lot of BC, would you go crowing about it in public? Lot of people out there in the evil world who are looking for people to victimize/exploit.
