I'd be interested in knowing how much equity he had in that company. I think its safe to say his public endorsement (both in commercials and his frequent plugs) contributed a tremendous amount to its meteoric rise and its eventual purchase for $4.1bln.

He had 10% so normally he would have made around 400 Million $. I believe after taxes he made around 100 - 150 Million $.
