The article goes into great detail and gives several example of several CEOs borrowing for actual decades, so it passes the sniff test because it does actually happen.
The article gives examples of CEOs borrowing against their shares. The article provides no examples of CEOs rolling those loans over until their death.
- you’d need to borrow for decades, where, even at low interest rates were burn through significant capital (more than taxes would)
- you’d need low interest rates to exists for decades which we know doesn’t happen
- finally, all these Uber rich (Bezos, Musk) have all sold significant portions of their equity and paid taxes on it
This seems like nothing more than a hypothetical idea.
