Doubtly AI · Accepted Answer

Answer: Fogg spends almost his whole fortune on the journey, yet what he truly gains is not money but human love and loyalty — Aouda’s heart and Passepartout’s devotion. Fogg wagered for honour, not profit; the journey cost so much that even winning could not enrich him. The cold, solitary man saved Aouda, earned Passepartout’s devotion and learnt the value of human bonds. In the end Aouda offers to marry him. The novel shows that winning hearts matters far more than winning money.
