His net worth is <$2M.

At that point in his career, Chomsky was getting invited everywhere because he was branded "the top intellectual in the world".

People would see him speak and not understand a damned word he said.

It's not like Chomsky understood anything he was saying outside of linguistics.

$2m is nothing to someone like Epstein. The private jet they're flying in cost $61m, for example
