Compared to the mainstream AAA game cost it's less than minimal, it's pocket change.
And it's not like somebody handed him that money, he made it creating and selling games earlier.
Ok for a decade of a senior dev, that's still like $2mil. That's in the same order of magnitude as a small AA game.
Supposedly the dev budget for the last pokémon game Z-A was only $13 million.
