That specific "no money" bit was a long time ago, way before you saw him and before his "Lucky Louie" show. So yes it's possible that at one point he had "no money." He's not the type of comedian that keeps doing a funny bit even if it isn't true.

I saw him on the most recent tour and he mentioned something about flying first class, and then apologized but assured the audience that he probably won't be doing that long, he'll mess it up lol
extreme paraphrasing, but I'm sure you all understand.

It's on the video he's selling now, he says he flies first class because he has more money than the audience, and that this has been going on for eight months and will only go on for another year.

These were a while ago.
Also: you've seen him live, right? How much did you pay for the tickets? Both times for me, the face was over $30, and both times the house was packed.
Do the math on how many shows he does. He tours constantly; a new one every year.
I don't think he's hurting. I think he's "only serious" when he jokes about having more money than everyone in the whole audience.
