What I’m curious about is at what level of funds flows does it make sense to start using these strategies. The average faang employees income is dominated by shares but a) they weren’t granted in the distant past when the prices were lower so the tax difference isn’t big between income and b) they have different risk tolerances as Bezos can lose half of his net worth and still be unable to spend all his money before he dies.

There must be some level where these strategies make sense but articles like this rarely point them out.
