Because he sees himself self-sufficient.  

when he sees it, that is to say, his own soul, to be self-sufficient, in terms of wealth — this was revealed regarding Abū Jahl (ra’ā, ‘sees’, means ˹to see˺ mentally; istaghnā, ‘self-sufficient’, is the second direct object; an ra’āhu, ‘when he sees it’, is an object denoting reason).
القرآن:٩٦:٧ –

أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ  

{أن رآه} أي نفسه {استغنى} بالمال، نزل في أبي جهل، ورأى علمية واستغنى مفعول ثان وأن رآه مفعول له.
