”If you believe this kid got anything more than a nuisance fee settlement, you’re dreaming,” said national security law attorney Bradley P. Moss.
Ok.
Around $200-$250k for each settlement he got minimum. That's the cost to defend, and that's the minimum he'd get. Insurance adjusters do that all the time. Even in borderline frivolous lawsuits, insurance companies will settle for the cost to defend at minimum. If there is even a slight chance they could lose, they may add a multiple to that. If he settled with three media companies, I'd bet he got at least $600-$750k. Given that there was an outlier chance he'd win in court, he probably got close to $2 million in total. So yeah, that's pretty rich for a kid his age. Lawyers take 30%, and the kid keeps $1.4m tax free.
Long read, but the article has a series of analyses as to why it’s nowhere near either of these amounts.
