I wish other “founder mode” examples were given other than Steve Jobs. Do people consider the following people to operate in Founder Mode: - Elon Musk? - Larry Ellison? - Mark Zuckerberg? - Marc Benioff? - Drew Houston?

What's often ignored is whether or not these are Realized Gains I wouldn't be surprised if a huge majority of that $42T wasn't realized gains (sold and attributed as a Capital Gain). It's hugely unfair to tax non -Rea
