I dunno Yamatiki - there's a lot involved in getting an art enterprise to actually pay cash money back to the artist after all the bills are paid.
For the longest while, clever ones learn to shuffle the numbers around and get things going, but actual green in the hand takes a lot of doing, and an awful lot of patience, paint, and perspiration.
Even real successful artists may have to wait a decade or more before that tipping point is reached.
For career survival and tax purposes, there are advantages in setting things up not to happen until well along the line - and popularity can vanish in a day.

If you were to meet the guy and chat with him for a few minutes you might conclude differently than you have.

Are you telling me that he can't afford to buy his own Vespa ??? :o

LOL ! You his accountant by any chance ?
