which he paid back in 2022 so apparently he had what most of us would consider decent income those years at least. Of course not in the multi- millionaire category of the A-Listers.

Assuming he paid SS payroll taxes for at least a few years, Social Security for the children will provide several thousand per month to the family up to at least when youngest turns 18.
