Sounds like a secret affair with the gardener
- That’s exactly what happened and it’s not secret. They are referred to in some publications as ‘the couple’.
  
  Where did you see that they were a couple?
  The newspaper said the unnamed Moroccan man is married to a woman of Spanish origin with two children, and that Mr Puech refers to them as his “children”, “daughter-in-law” and “adopted son”.
  It said he was particularly touched at the way they looked after him during the Covid pandemic.
  Sounds like he's a reclusive hermit who inherited family wealth, and wants to give it to the only friends/family he has.

...creating yet another billionaire, who, like all the others, didn't earn that money. As is tradition.
- That guy earned it by gardening
  
  There is no mathematical way for his work to be worth 5 billion, not even if he had magical powers and turned the whole garden into pure gold in the process. Not if he worked for 500 years straight, every day, without a break.
  A billion is such a fantastically large number people can’t relate to how much more it is than any normal job pays in wages.
  
  Lol, no, no he didn't.
- Technically he’s also removing himself in the process, so nil sum gain.
  
  Way to deliberately miss the point.. I said "creating" not "adding", it isn't about the number of billionaires, but how they become that.
Eh. I'd rather he didn't have that money in the first place.
- Lol
Read this as Hamas billionaire and was very confused.
Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
And then he will lose it all,
- Your oligarch dick sucking aside, the nice thing about losing 99% of five billion dollars is that still leaves you fifty million dollars.
