He provides welfare, he almost single-handedly funded the rebuilding of Gotham post no man's land, revitalised several neighbourhoods, funded the operation of free clinics, he creates jobs, there are moments where he hired an escort to work for him in Wayne enterprise and hired many people like that, he built schools, he funds Gotham Academy, a prestigious private schools and these are just few examples I can find after a quick google search.

Damian Still has money and connections from his mom's side of the family. Tim's a genius and could probably become a billionaire on his own if he wanted to, Besides that his parents are still alive in this universe. And Jason has better survival instincts than anyone in the batfamily and can take care of himself without loads of cash.

This explains nothing, it's a billion dollars they could easily be spread around into substansial shares. And even if the others had money Jason didn't. Are we suggesting that Alfred didn't give money to Jason because Jason could make that money through crime and Alfred thought that was just dandy?
