if he is just an IMF agent, how is he rich since the beginning, having a mansion and a lot of henchmen
The stupid have one thing in common.They alter the facts to fit their views not the other way
I've always wondered this too. It's not like government employees are pulling in 7 figure salaries. It's like the film wants Ambrose to be half rogue agent and half Bond villain.
At least in Goldeneye they gave Trevelyn 9 years to build his criminal empire and subsequent wealth.
Scottish people are renowned for being really tight, he probably built up his fortune by never buying a round and never putting in the charity box.

But then how come James Bond doesn't have a mansion and a lot of henchmen after being in the biz for more than 50 years? :)

Maybe land and real estate is rather cheap down in Oz; and maybe, contrary to what the other poster suggested, his henchmen only stuck around because he does buy them a lot of rounds (of the cheapest beer available).
I think it's suggested that Ambrose is corrupt and hence he and his henchmen always have a little profitable side-show during his IMF missions.
