Worst case scenario is he gets into office, realizes the extent to which he can monetize it, and does just that.
Like Obama did.
What.
Obama’s issue is that he was an ideological moderate who, additionally, felt the need to ‘compromise’ with the opposition in a vain and pointless attempt at blunting their attacks painting him as an extremist. People often think he was further left than he was, in part because he was Hillary Clinton’s primary opponent (and further left than her, but that’s damnation by faint praise), in part because of repeated GOP attacks, and in part because he had a talent for expressing policy inoffensively - ie in a manner where people were likely to project their own desires on it and thus support it.
He didn’t ‘monetize’ the presidency, at least not in any sense of policy; the money he made from the presidency was overwhelmingly just in the value of exposure.
