Dude is rich just off his law practice from my understanding but not put a program on his back rich. He is potentially gonna be mega rich as in the 20 billi man but his SPAC has to clear. Therein lies some of the problems, it hasn’t cleared yet and isn’t guaranteed to clear.
Negative, ghost rider.
Cutting and pasting my own post from earlier:
a SPAC deal is a merger of a company (Ruiz') with a blank-check company (think of a pre-funded shell company, or a pile of cash, that is looking for an acquisition for the shell) with a sort of IPO type result. A listing, where sponsors make money and there is usually a cash out. In this case, it's analogous to a sale, somewhat. He has a company that is worth billions, it's not like its SPAC or nothing and he ends up broke lol.
If the SPAC deal falls apart, and many of them do, HE STILL HAS A COMPANY THAT IS WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Even if the SPAC is the maximum possible valuation (I think I read $32B - too lazy to google) and it falls apart and he ends up listing it or selling it at some point, etc. for let's say... half, his grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren will still have FU money.
