I think I like the spirit of your idea but I'm not so sure about the execution. What is the certain size? Who determines that? Will it be updated frequently enough to handle changing times / technology trends?

When a founder/CEO can save [1]$45 billion USD into a tax haven LLC, I think thats big enough. Step down and let another innovator get rich.

So you want to determine whether or not we break up a company based on whether or not the founder or CEO is making too much money? That seems like a great way to remove economic incentives from starting businesses.

No idea :-). A progressive tax system for companies would possibly do the trick.
