Wtf are you talking about? Of course I don't know what he gets paid, but it is obvious to any climber that he is one of the most sponsored names in the climbing world today. He has been pushing it in the last few years. If he lives out of his car (for easy travel) doesn't mean he has not made money!
IMO soloing is a personal thing. Should not be shown publicly as much. A LOT of people do look up to him. Although if someone does get hurt attempting to be Honnold it is their own fault. Own fear is the best defense mechanism from getting hurt.
Hope he is healthy and wish him only luck and success. But want to see what others think about soloing on TV...

segment inferred he wasn't making money off his climbing.

this is the best video i have ever seen of free soloing by alex honold (hands sweating right through to the end).
the "freak out" in min 20 shows how crazy this sport acctually is even for experianced climbers like honold.
enjoy
