From what I understand, Tony's involvement with the Jags is as a numbers cruncher/analytics guy. What the GM and coaches do with those numbers is out of his hands.
There's always going to be a blurry line between a billionaire's money and their descendants'. Even when they start making their own money, it's mostly because of the opportunities afforded to them by inherited wealth. Like dudes like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have this rags-to-riches myth around them when Bezos' parents were really well off and Musk's dad owned a f***ing emerald mine in apartheid South Africa. TruMedia and Activist Artists are mostly his own thing, though without any official involvement from his father. As is Ring of Honor on that note. Yeah no there's absolutely interesting discussions to be had here about the nature of generational wealth and the advantages that 'self-made successes' have had with wealthy parents, but it becomes a question of if that's the conversation people want to have.
There's definitely an interesting conversation to have there. But I get the sense the people using it to detract from him are more along the lines of "lol money mark who doesn't know what he's doing" rather than debating the effects of generational wealth.

Tony has never had his own money. I don't think that's entirely accurate. His dad gave him money to start things up, but has relatively been on his own since to make the deals and keep the place running and collecting profit, on top of the potential big money deals coming up He has a pretty safe net to fall into, but he's not a dummy, he's used what he's been given and turned AEW into a success to this point. Can't take that away from him. Last line is true. I'm not sure what to think of him sometimes but I acknowledge the success that AEW has had and hopefully will continue to have.

Tony gets all his money because he's hired a network of black ops soldiers to travel around the globe stealing every pot of gold from all the leprechauns at the end of rainbows. This wouldn't happen if Warwick Davis was still the Leprechaun.
