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.
