All of the headlines are saying that (if the judge decides he is in contempt), then he will be subject to fines and not jail like the rest of us ordinary peons would be for doing the exact same thing.

But all the fines in the world are meaningless to him, since it will take exactly 0.00245 seconds for people to give him more than enough money to pay them.

You would think that those responsible for making the decision as to whether he has breached the rules, and whether to imprison him for doing so if he has, would factor the above into the equation. But I doubt it.
