He’s not doing the mars bit to make money, though selling that dream to a generation probably will make him very rich because of owning all the spinoff enterprises (for example having a monopoly on sat launches). Colonising mars will be a money sink in the way that colonising the new world was - many will die, some will get rich eventually, the original investors will lose everything.
