Tyler? Yep. Says here you made a $1 salary this year? Yep.
That can't be right. You're the CEO of one of the biggest firms in America. I know for a fact you received $500,000 of compensation. That is correct.
Okay, this is tax evasion, Tyler. No, it's tax education. See, I don't have what people would call a normal income. Otherwise, I'd owe 35% in taxes.
Yikes! So how do you plan on getting all that money? I get paid with stock options. That way, when the company crushes it, and we will crush it, I'll eventually sell the company and the stock, and I'll get all that money back in the form of capital gains. Those are taxed at 20%.
