I've seen a few interviews with the man as well as a C-Span banquette. A very intelligent man for sure. He claims to not be in it for the money. For the most part, I believe him. He has enough of it at his age(80 something) to live another 20 and still live the high life with plenty leftover. I hope oil dropping doesn't lull us back into energy complacency, but it probably will for most.
