He is married to a Royally-connected lady and therefore has/had a lot of influence. I suspect that the financial stake is on her family's side.
Interestingly he used to have an apartment on the top floor of the spa, but a couple of years ago, Mandarin asked him to leave and built an Ayurvedic suite up there instead.
No financial worries, I think.
