(given the info in the article, this remains a possibility).
Don't laugh.

I have a somewhat distant relative (cousin of my father) that is worth 50+ million. Lives in a crappy 600 foot cabin he built by hand in interior BC on 20 acres, and drives a beat to hell 1978 Ford Bronco. The guy doesn't own a cell phone, hasn't shaved in probably 5 years, and on first glance you'd think he's a hobo. He sold out all of his real estate assets in Vancouver in the late 90's when his marriage failed, and wanted to go live the simple life he grew up with.

We fully expect to get news of his death one day, when a bear drags his corpse out of the woods.

Guys like this actually exist.
