Not to defend Huffman, who's a huge asshole, but...
He wasn't really oaid 193 million. That's the value (on paper) if the stocks and options he received. His actual salary eas 341,000$.
I don't like the idea of calling it a non-payment when receiving compensation in the form of valuable assets in addition to money.
Receiving stocks or gold bricks or houses or blow jobs, or anything else of value, is payment, and should be taxed as such.
"Dear IRS, this year I received 69 blow jobs. How much do I owe on this?"
