Daniel has repeatedly shown through his actions and words that he has no idea how to handle money or manage his own finances. Between his impulse spending, unwillingness to save or budget, and massive sense of entitlement, Daniel demonstrates incompetence in managing finances.
When Nancy Shimer died, she left her money to Daniel in a trust fund managed by Bob Proctor, though we do not know how much money was in Daniel's trust fund. Daniel will sometimes post updates on his finances via an app on his smartphone, but these screenshots are completely unreliable, with Daniel, at one point claiming to have enough debt to constitute the entire GDP of a small country.
Daniel, despite being given this money to spend on housing, medicine, food, and water, often spends it on gambling and tech items he will inevitably destroy. Even when he's penniless, Daniel often uses Dine and Dashing to enjoy copious amounts of food at no cost.
Daniel also spends a significant amount of money on his collection of sex toys to satisfy his fantasies.
Daniel's sources of income
Daniel has had several sources of income throughout his life. These range from the relatively mundane, like Nancy Shimer's trust fund, to the risky, like gambling. His most common method, however, is e-begging, hoping financial enablers pay for whatever he needs or wants.
CashApp
Daniel will frequently post his CashApp on his Youtube and TikTok in an effort to get financial enablers to donate to him, particularly when he needs to pay for food (which he often refuses to do, instead Dine and Dashing.)

He was banned on August 16th, 2023.
