You don't spend a percentage, you spend a fixed amount. $1.5 million is enough to live in a nice house, eat what you want, send your kids to nice schools, Aruba in the summer and Aspen in the winter, and still have enough to buy a very fast car. It's easier to focus on EV once you live this life.

Everyone read that as $1.5 million in salary but I didn't mean to say he got that every year. He got it once.

So? It's still more than most families will make in a decade. How many years was that $1.5M compensation for? What other compensation did he get?
