The other thing to remember is that total earnings != cash flow. You don't know what he committed himself to in terms of debt service BEFORE he had that kind of money. It happens all the time.
For further proof, just do a simple Google search on lottery winners that have gone bankrupt. It's a lot more common than you might think.

Of course I know all that, but if you read the story, the idiot is getting taken to court over a $440,000 house he bought in 1994. Christ, sometime in the middle of earning that $96 million, why not just write a check and pay off the house?
That's what happens when you have a below-freezing IQ.
