Never had to pay zakaah on his wealth
*Please appropriately reference this quote to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Ibn Rumayh said:

The yearly income of al-Layth ibn Sa'd was 80,000 deenaars, [and despite this immense wealth] never did Allaah obligate upon him to extract even one dirham in zakaah[*].

al-Hilyah - Volume 7 / Page 322

[*] This is because he would charitably give plenteously throughout the year, such that he would then have a humble amount left for himself and his family.
