Billionaires with $1 salaries
– and other legal tax dodges the ultrawealthy use to keep their riches
Billionaires can enjoy growing wealth entirely free of income tax and reporting
Mark Zuckerberg was the lowest-paid employee at Meta in 2024,

But he is not the only very rich person who has collected $1 for a year’s work.
Why would incredibly rich CEOs make only $1 a year when they could pay themselves millions?
The reason is taxes…

Gross, stark und erst noch viel zu grosszügig, das sind die USA und ihre Wirtschaft – wenn es nach dem Präsidenten geht. In Tat und Wahrheit zahlen wir ihre Defizite und all die Rekorde an der Wall Street werden weggefressen vom Wertzerfall des Dollars.
Wer in der Schweiz 100 Franken anlegte, der hat heute 111. Wer dasselbe in den USA tat, hat heute nur gerade 102.
Rechnet man das BIP in Franken, so schrumpfte die US-Wirtschaft im Vergleich zu 2024 um über 9 Prozent.
