It is literally impossible for him to lose money. Other franchises are worth more, but those franchises also own their stadiums, practice facilities, etc. All things that Mike refuses to invest money in.
I have no doubts that Mike would like to win, but have always thought that doing so his way was the most important thing. Imagine the gall it takes to have failed for the last 26 years and still do things the same way... no thought of a General Manager, expanding the scouting department, being more active in free agency, etc. Nope, just keep doing what you're doing because you've convinced yourself that you somehow know better than the rest of the league.
The Bengals have't won a single playoff game since the start of modern free agency. Whether it's being cheap...Whether it's wanting to do things their own way and resist using free agency...Whether it's some combination.
EVERY NFL Team has won a playoff game since the Bengals last did.
