*Notes*

McFarlane’s business was a web of intertwined corporations that even he at times seemed to have trouble keeping track of. The one that went bankrupt was the entity that oversaw Spawn, and that was likely walled off from his personal finances and that of his toy business. So it is possible that McFarlane retained a good bit of personal wealth while his business went bankrupt. But he obviously isn’t very upfront about his own finances, he did claim to have spent most of his money buying baseballs, but again, this is not something I was able to verify beyond using McFarlane as the source.
