The scenario you describe could be a nightmare for a taxpayer.

If you are paid $10 million in company stock as part of an advertising contract, you must pay taxes on it as if it was paid to you in cash.

If the value of the stock then goes to $0, then you have a $10 million loss that can only be written off against other capital gains. If you have no other capital gains, then you can only write off a maximum of $3,000 per year against your ordinary income.

So it’s possible that Tom Brady has paid several million dollars in income taxes for shares of stock that are worthless now.

It would warm the cockles of my heart to see the Clintoons take a devastating financial hit. I hope to hear a similar rumor about Barry & Mike Obammy.

“you’re already rich, so what’s the point?”

Well, by the same token, if you are a billionaire, risking a million or two is not taking a big risk. Brady might have 500 million sitting in very safe investments and just playing with the rest for his own amusement.

Depending on when he bought in, he might have lost $90 million dollars.

Was FTX a publicly traded company?

If not, how can his shares be valued until he tries to sell them?

Doubt if they put money into it. They would have been GIVEN shares.

He probably got paid in stock. For a couple hours work. He doesn’t care.

He’s already signed a deal with Fox.

But he has a couple years left.
