  1. You’re missing something here buddy. This is income, and doesn’t include capital gains.

    That is the big scam. CEOS bragging about getting a salary of $1 like they are being fortuitous. When they are evading taxes. Paying no payroll tax and using stock option execution manipulation to avoid taxes.

    The other scam is rarely is a salary millions of dollars. If you make that much more than likely you are a company owner or have an equity stake at least; which opens the door to legally evading more taxes as the system is corrupt to the core.
