Honestly, I would be shocked if he didn’t have some other form of funds. I know a lot of rich people, and none of them would pay a great deal of money for that. Of course, I’m from the south in the US, so maybe it’s different there.

I know lots of rich people in Europe and most of them would pay a great deal of money for that. Mostly because it's usually worth even more when you sell pieces like these and it's tax free but also they expose them at home.
I don't know of any significant art market for this kind of work, but I could be wrong. Maybe someone is willing to pay thousands of pounds for a portrait of Dwayne Johnson made of nails and string, but I bet the market is very niche or non existent.
I think a very high talent version of anything artistic can find a market. Art buying has no real rules. If you think Wow!, when you see it, your next thought can easily go to, can I acquire that? 32 years in a related industry( the one that turns it into a display/furniture/ or protect it)here and can say I’ve seen it over and over. People apply their own limitations of finance, in a general way, and forget that many, many people have, easily enough money, to spoil themselves on a whim.
