Dear Reader, I want to show you something hiding in plain sight. Elon Musk takes no salary from Tesla. Zero dollars. Mark Zuckerberg runs one of the most valuable companies on Earth. His annual salary from Meta? One dollar. Larry Ellison, Oracle, the company whose stock is up as much as 509% since 2020, takes one dollar a year. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the men who built Google: one dollar each. These are the people who understand technology better than anyone alive. They are building the AI systems that are already replacing human workers across the economy. They have access to every financial instrument on the planet. And they have all made the same deliberate choice: they do not want to be paid in the kind of money you and I use every day. When every single one of them makes that same choice…across different companies, different industries, different decades, it stops being a coincidence and starts being a signal about which kind of money they trust. I’ve been watching wealthy Americans operate for 47 years. And what I see when I look at those $1 salaries is the same pattern I’ve watched play out my entire career. The people who understand how wealth actually works don’t chase wages. They choose ownership, a different kind of currency entirely. One that doesn’t get taxed the moment it hits your account. One that can compound for decades untouched. One that can be used to buy billion-dollar assets without ever going to a bank. Last year, Musk bought $11 billion worth of wireless spectrum licenses for Starlink. He paid for more than half of it, $8.5 billion to be exact, using SpaceX shares instead of cash. Not because he couldn’t afford dollars. Because he understood which currency was more valuable. The average S&P 500 CEO now receives 71.6% of their total compensation in stock… let that sink in. There are two kinds of money in America right now. One builds dynasties. The other slowly loses value while you hold it. I’ve put together a free presentation explaining exactly what this divide looks like, why it’s widening faster than at any point in my career, and most importantly how ordinary Americans can position themselves on the right side of it. You don’t need to be a billionaire to make this move. You just need to understand which currency to hold. I go over everything in detail, in my newest presentation for free, click here to watch now.
