He'd have to have more than that!

Wasn't he the first person to own an ASIC miner?

I remember that thing was making $2,000 a day when Bitcoin was only $20 each
I think he exchanged most of what he mined for fiat to pay for bills, ect.

This spot for rent.

I would be glad to have even 10% of that, or maybe even 5%.

That's quite a large sum of money. And it will likely be a lot more within a few years.
