He got billions in his account. I dont think he cares. For them job is something to do to not get bored, I guess?

Pretty much literally not about the money for him.

He didn't have any equity and didn't get a salary.

So he can go and do something fun like hike the Andes for two years.

He got billions in his account

Was unaware the man has had his bank account records leaked to the public. Do you have a source for this claim?

Seems to be somewhere between 0.5 and 0.7 billion, which due to a quirk of the English language are technicallybillions, making OP technically not wrong ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
