  1. I though that I’m good in math, but this makes me realise that I was wrong: “He is estimated to have a net worth of around $22 million as of May 2020. In 2019 alone, he was estimated to earn a whopping $26 million in a single year.”

    So, In single year that kid earned 26M, but still after few years of making money is worth “just” $22M !?
