Forbes estimates he's worth 4 billion.
Its generally agreed that he was only given something meager like 40 million or something, and to a lot of you that probably seems like a stupid amount.
But lets take this into consideration:
= 40,000,000 / 4,000,000,000
= 0.01
That means he inherited 1% of his fortunes, and had to work in order to get the company doing what he wanted, make the right choices. A lot of people would have blown through that 40 million in less than 10 years, but for him to turn something like that into a gargantuan figure says a lot. (not sure I'm sold on his views, however that's besides the point).
The fact that the financial supporters of politicians also include news companies is pretty bad. You can tell which station supports which by the way they present the candidates which heavily affects "blind voters" (people who vote not knowing what stances the politicians have / voting because he seems nice, etc.)
But as I can imagine this is how it has always been done, so to change something like this would not be an easy feat, not at all.
