$50 million is nothing when you have $125 million to $200 million leftover.
$175 million net worth doesn't mean he's got $175 million in cash sitting in the bank. Probably only a small fraction of that $175M is actual cash while the majority of that $175M is the equity value in business investments and property holdings. Its a lot bigger deal when you have to start selling off assets to pay a debt instead of just being able to write a check.

Assuming he at least has partial ownership in his catalog, he'll be collecting royalties til he's nothing but a pile of bones 6 feet under.

Also, he's not an athlete with a limited shelf life on his earnings. This guy can be producing and performing for decades to come. So yeah, $50m is not much more than a drop in the bucket.

Okay.

What do you think he’ll have leftover once he settles his gambling debt?

The number doesn’t really matter to me. That’s the point. He will still have a shitload of money compared to most people and will live a better life than almost everyone on the planet. Which is why I don’t care about $50 million or think it’s that substantial to him.
