To say these guys are not wealthy is preposterous to begin with. If this guy knew what he was talking about he should have said at minimum that they are not liquid. Lore is worth 4 billion according to Forbes.
You sure about that? Mind including a reference because...
1) He isn't included in the billionaire list when I look at the real time rankings: https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#27f3b8243d78
2) He isn't included in the billionaire list when I look at the end of 2023: https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/
3) Forbes instead describes him as worth considerably less than your 4B figure:
But Lore, who is worth more than $500 million

4) Any calculation I have seen that gets to 4B includes ~3B that Lore was absolutely not paid.
5) Similarly, other public sources peg him at less than a billion in Net worth, such as:
Marc E. Lore has an estimated net worth of $642 Million.

It is just that all the research I have seen makes it look like you are just wrong, so would appreciate you sharing what you have seen that contradicts Forbes itself.
