It makes you wonder why he needs the payout. I just listened to a podcast about Michael Jackson (Timesuck if you’re curious, highly recommend it) and he talked about how Jackson was in massive debt by the end and was prepping for a tour to make money to pay back his debts right before he died.

Obviously, at billionaire level the debt isn’t going to be with luxuries and goods. Could it be debt to other billionaires or countries made under the table? He’s shown in recent years that he’s not the business genius he tried to pretend he was, so it wouldn’t be that far fetched.
And technically he took on a bunch of loans and IOUs with people like the Saudis to make that happen. So I’m sure he’s a bit concerned about liquidity and paying those people back.

Unless they got what they paid for
