My guess: VHNWI (very high net worth individual), defined by Investopedia https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hnwi.asp as the range $5m to $30m. Maybe he's even in the ultra HNWI range.

Linus is doing fine.
Also when I said blindly follow the Open Source project leader I was referring to Buterin and Nakamoto
