I know this is satire, but out of curiosity is it really possible to be paid 100% in stock (and then just sell however much you need to live immediately)?

Even if it was, you still pay regular income tax on stocks which are given to you.

Get an individual patent and get arrange to get paid via royalty licensing. As I understand it, this is all long term cap gains. However. I am not a lawyer or a tax advisor.

[acchow]

a quick Google shows that royalties from patents are taxes as ordinary income.

EDIT: Read the whole thing, it was apparently a joke.

GSU when it vets is taxed at the marginal bracket.

You must have around 1M-2M to be able to get that much capital gains, too. doesn't sound right?
