Given the market and his skills, college will never come. He’ll just get into and immersed in the industry and forget about College. The idea of college will only hit later.

Realistically, however, college is only important if you are planning to leave your own country; or get involved in a very bureaucratic/hierarchical company. Since he is from Germany (which has a quite powerful passport), college will only be important if he wants to immigrate later to the US.

Another way that a degree becomes useful later on is once you need to write a bio for your photo on your startup's About Us page. The vast majority of bios, even for old wealthy folks, list the degree and university in the first sentence.
