There was that time a Twitter takeover said he had multiple streams of income that he didn't want to talk about. This could absolutely be canon. That last bit cannot be canon afaik. By some sources, Sonic is 16 (pending fact check)

DAMN LMAO

ya know, i’m pretty sure that’s actually canon somewhat. on the space colony ark, a lot of the research there went into creating chaos drives, which serve as an energy source similar to, but nowhere near as, powerful as the chaos emeralds, which powers most of G.U.N.’s mechs

Hey, at least he's more likable than that other emerald mine guy. Even invests in public infrastructure.

they say the work conditions there were Chaos

this is just low effort

there was a Twitter Takeover where he offhandedly mentioned he has several streams of income he didn't want to give say, so potentially canon :0
