A prominent tech CEO currently sits on roughly 304 million exercisable stock options from his 2018 compensation deal, struck at $23.34 per share. At today's closing price, these holdings are valued around $139.2 billion before tax implications—a staggering concentration of wealth in a single compensation tranche. The window to exercise remains open until January 2028, giving him several years to navigate potential tax and market implications of converting these options into actual shares.

139.2 billion? This guy is entirely relying on paper wealth. When it comes to exercising rights, he probably has to watch the market's mood.

139.2 billion? This guy can rewrite a country's GDP with just a flick of his finger, it's really outrageous.

304 million options, 139.2 billion USD... This is definitely a printing press.
