Is it really about a buck at this point? He (and all the top folks) have more money than they can possibly find a personal use for. It can only be about the legacy....trouble is you can never really be sure what percentage is about developing something good for society and what percentage is about "one-upping" the other CEOs.

C2, Suppose that a hypothetical Paul own's 1000 shares of qcom, has a tax basis of $8 and pays a total tax, fed + state, of 25% for long term capital gains. He would be receiving $560 per year in dividends from qcom. If he sold the stock this morning he would have $36870 - $9217 = $27653 after taxes. If he invested this money in a stock, REIT, CD, AAA bond or etc that paid a 5% dividend he would receive $1383 per year. Well over twice the return. This of course ignores potential appreciation of the stock. -thinkclear
