What do you mean by "personally"?
If it is paid in the course of your client's trade or business, whether it comes from the business bank account, your client's personal bank account, or his mason jar buried in the back garden, it needs to be reported on a 1099-MISC assuming the threshold is met.
If the payment is personal in nature, or for a mere investment (not a trade or business), then no 1099 is required.
IRC Sec 6041(a).
