It may not be $1 billion, but he will have to pay quite a bit eventually:

Without that cash, Jones will be forced to hand over his personal assets, according to bankruptcy attorney Brian Davidoff, who notes that there are some state exemptions. At least one of Jones’ properties will likely be protected by Texas’ Homestead Law, which prevents creditors from seizing certain properties to prevent homelessness. “If he’s got five homes, not all of them are going to qualify [for an exemption],” says Davidoff. Apart from those covered by the exemptions, “all the other assets will be available for the judgment.” As for the home Jones transferred to his wife, that too could be seized by creditors if a court decides that it was a “fraudulent” transfer made intentionally to avoid creditors.
