> The prince made their money

The prince is clearly a man and as such there is no need for the use of the plural "their". The prince made his money conveys more information and does not violate rules of grammar and as such is readable to anyone who understands English, this in contrast to the hypercorrect use of "their" which turns an already irregular language into an even more convoluted puzzle.

I’m using “the prince” in an metaphorical sense referring to the oil industry as a whole. I’m not talking about literally one prince.

The original wording was plenty readable, I didn’t even notice the singular they until your comment.
