Article about JE's finances:
"For all his infamy, there are scant details of how he made his money. While he’s frequently been called a billionaire, his net worth is hard to ascertain. He ran a money management firm catering to the ultra-rich, primarily for Victoria’s Secret founder
Les Wexner, but its assets were never made public and few on Wall Street have dealt with him as a financier or money manager."

Doesn't really explain, imo, where/how he obtained so many expensive properties, two airplanes, 15 cars (iirc), connections to the elite in the world. He's rich beyond rich, supposedly. What's he selling that is bringing in so much money? (Is the answer what seems obvious, underage girls?)
