I get his point, but it's not purely theoretical. He moved into a $6M house, he surely never has to work again, never has to worry about medical insurance, about paying the bills, and can do basically anything he wants. All without liquidating any meaningful amount of those assets and without hurting a single person's job.

I think it's nice that he's laying low, trying to find something he's passionate about, is willing to work hard, isn't a playboy, etc. He has a humble attitude. But his wealth is real, not theoretical, and he's still too detached to realize that.

This may be true, but it may not; he may be very aware of that, but is projecting himself as less wealthy than he actually is. I could imagine myself doing something similar if I had that kind of wealth.

I think this is almost what he's saying. Once you're past say $100M that is the case anyway - being the 83rd richest person on the planet has little to no real additional impact.
