  Fyi... MZ's salary is just $1 a year. Other programmers with salaries of $1/year are Larry Page and Sergei Brin. (But setting aside pedantics of "net worth != salary", I think we all get your point.)

    Yeah, I'm sure he has some very creative tax accountants that technically have him eligible for food-stamps while living in a $7 million dollar house surrounded with another $30 million in properties just to not have neighbours.

    Which is an aggressive tax avoidance strategy

      Which just goes to show what a joke progressive income tax is. It hits the upper middle class hard, while ignoring the biggest money earners.

    (But pedantics aside, I think we all get your point.) Except the point doesn't answer the question of salary, which is right there in the title. Does Gates even get a salary anymore?
