How we got this number

The midpoint follows the most recent public estimates and reporting on record. The range is lolopop's uncertainty band, not a disclosed figure. No audited balance sheet, portfolio, debt schedule, contract terms, or tax records are public, so treat it as an order of magnitude.

where the money comes from

A commonly cited public estimate pegs Garry Kasparov’s net worth at around $6 million, largely attributing his wealth to decades of chess-related earnings plus income from writing, speaking, and media work.

This is a secondary, non-audited estimate (not a Forbes/Reuters/AP-reported figure), and should be treated as directional rather than definitive.
