Yes and she disowned him pretty much the moment she turned 18.
He, having been extremely anti-trans ever since his ex left him for Chelsea Manning, would never defend his daughter or even stop misgendering her.
And I've said for a while now that you have to be an exceptionally shitty father for your daughter to disown you despite you being one of the richest people on the planet.

Agreed, but she went out of her way to let him know she did not want to be associated with him at all. She wanted it entered into court records. She also did it very soon after turning 18.

She could have just broken contact with him and hoped he'd still put her in his will, but he was such a complete douchebag of a father that she said, "fuck you and your billions."
Absolutely! She gave up SO much material comfort and luxury to get away from him! He must be just as awful as a dad as he seems to be as a person online.
Good on her for getting away from that toxic man-child, though! Can't have been easy but is probably worth it!
