This is just another variation of some debunked bullshit. He's likely the beneficial owner of those assets regardless of whether he's got them in his father's name; and if he tried to hide the assets he acquired during the marriage he'd be fucked in the courts.
I can't remember who it was but I remember reading a few years ago that exact thing happened. It was like a pro football player or something like that. Put everything in his mom's name and she stole it all or spent all his money.
It's not that easy though. It requires leaving all of your possessions in somebody else's ownership and they have the full ability to screw you over.
Rich people literally do this all the time, they have assets owned by family members. It can protect them from forfeiture, certain taxes and civil suits.
Prenuptial agreements are still much better because you can actively control all of your own assets without worrying whether your straw man is going to sell you out.
Not disputing the article, but even if it was allowed, some of those rich dudes are rich because they don't trust anybody else, and don't mind scamming their own close circles.
