I think he's earned a crazy amount of money in restaurants and real estate and as I understand he and his wife have spent a great deal of it on failed charities.

I don't think it's something people are necessarily discussing but it seems like a realistic scenario. Infer what you will about the myriad of questionable to poor film choices he's involved himself in over the past ten or so years. Poor choices aside, there are without question films you could assume were made strictly for a payday.
