He says he reinvests it all, which may be true. Amazon also famously did the same for about 20 years, but Bezos still lived like a billionaire off loans/etc during that time.

I’m poor because I reinvest my capital. How dumb does he think people are? Reinvesting capital is literally what it means to be a capitalist.
