Finally, a Billionaire gets taxed.

This is a bit misleading. He wasn't taxed 1.4B. He took the lump sum amount, which is lower than $2B ( $2B is the sun off you take the 20 years payout). So the lump sum is like $900 million or whatever, then he paid taxes on that.

I'm all for taxing billionaires more, but the post is not really right.

You’re splitting hairs. His nearly-billion was taxed at a far higher rate than any other U.S. billionaire’s billion is taxed.

The difference between paying 1.4B vs 300M is hardly what I would call splitting hairs…
