I'm curious as to why you say that as he literally used his first sponsorship to pay off his mom's mortgage and seems to come from an average standard of living.

That, if true, doesn't invalidate that the guy is rich, immature, and makes a living from attracting people to pay him attention so he gets paid even more money. I said it because that's what he is.

I get your point now. I interpreted your comment as "he was born rich". I also didn't watch the exposé until after I wrote mine.
