Just because someone has a high net worth does not mean they are not trying to scam people, and it is good to be on the lookout for that.

Every human being is self-interested, at least to some degree. So, it is perfectly expected that he seeks money, fame, status, power, sex, etc.

But he doesn't seem to exhibit these to an abnormal degree, and in any event, you can just evaluate his claims based on evidence and logic and they either succeed or fail.

Just because the Wright Brothers were selling airplanes doesn't mean that they didn't fly.

Bit of a reach there.
