Gary personally owned hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of oil and other commodities before the crisis, profiting significantly when oil prices rose 50%.

“This claim is a personal testimony made by Gary Stevenson in his video. While articles, such as one in The Guardian from January 2025, confirm that he trades for his own account and invests in assets including commodities, there is no independent, external verification of the specific figures mentioned. Public sources do not contain details of his personal portfolio, the exact amount invested, or the precise 50% profit figure he claims to have made from a specific oil price rise. Context: The claim is part of the video's broader argument that owning real assets and resources is the only way for individuals to protect themselves from economic crises, such as the energy crisis he predicts will result from the conflict with Iran.”
