I worked on calculating the total compensation packages for a major investment firm. We’re talking VERY large. They got most of their income in “internal shares” with long term incentive delays on them like 3 years.
That makes sense in many contexts, but not really if you’re the largest shareholder in a privately-held company. Which is why I’m fairly sure most of his income is dividends. Does he use the loan trick to live a fancier lifestyle? Perhaps, but we’ll probably never be privy to the information.
