He has to subsist on the 10's of millions he's invested now?! My heart is breaking... not.

He's rich as fuck. He's fine. So he has to sell some of his foreign estates, poor baby. I bet he pulls through just fine and still walks away with an elegant roof over his head and opulent healthcare and other perks. Hell, he just got one hell of a tax break handed to him! The money he saves on his dividends alone will be massive.
