JK never really flaunted his wealth, he surely was arrogant and used money to keep Dan by his side (and also make him feel inferior) but he’s not the one to act all high and mighty *just* because he has money, …
I’m guessing that winning that tournament was somehow his last hope to maybe even open his dad‘s eyes. He was just a young teen - he must have felt desperate for a father and a mother.
His current actions towards Dan reflect on his past surely :(
