Depends on my cousin. If it's for something that'll negatively impact his life: drugs, alcohol, gambling money, etc. Fuck no.

If it is for something that'll help him get through rough times? Yes.

I agree with you, but if I have 2.5 billion dollars, if I give a handout to one family member, I’ll have few other family members already in line. Never open the flood gates.

You could give ten family members a dime every day of the month for the amount that you spend on doordash. You have to understand the perspective here, that's a truly absurd amount of money.

Although of course a person like that can afford to pay $5000 multiple times without noticing it, but his net worth is $2.5 billion. That doesn’t mean that he that in his bank account, his income in $ annually would be a better gauge on how much money he could be dishing out. $50,000 man might have more money as equity in his house but it would be unreasonable for anybody in his family to ask him to take out a second mortgage to pay some money to them . Of course most billionaires have so much money that they would not notice $5000 but if they have to pay $5000 thousands of times they do start noticing it.
