Thiel makes billions all tax free

When he liquidates his assets and starts spending money it will be taxable. Good enough for me.

LOL, I think his remaining portion will still be over a couple Billion.........,

Yeah he is suffering........

:rolleyes:

He will NOT be taxed when he spends the money in his Roth. That’s the whole point of a Roth. He figured some way to scam the system to avoid taxes. The wealthy are very good at this, with their legends of tax attorneys.

Not when he SPENDS money, that is a SALES TAX that most states have and possibly a state tax as well.

Plus he wasn't wealthy at the time he did the financial activities, as he started with just $2,000

He made an enormous sum of money off the stock and paid $0 in income taxes, because he bought the stock inside a Roth IRA.

He will only pay sales taxes should he take funds from the Roth IRA and buy something subject to sales taxes.

So, start your own company, invest all of your Roth IRA into stocks, and see how you do!
 
Can anyone explain how this fund operates, in a nutshell? You give them some money and they invest them in stock market or something like that?

A Roth IRA is taxed before the income is deposited, what gains you make are not taxed. When you are eligible for withdrawal, you are not taxed.
Why? That is not logical. If you invested 100 bucks and got back 1000, you should pay income tax.

What Is a Roth IRA?

A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account (IRA) that allows qualified withdrawals on a tax-free basis provided certain conditions are satisfied. Established in 1997, it was named after William Roth, a former Delaware Senator.1


Roth IRAs are similar to traditional IRAs, with the biggest distinction between the two being how they’re taxed. Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax dollars; the contributions are not tax-deductible. But once you start withdrawing funds, the money is tax-free. Conversely, traditional IRA deposits are generally made with pretax dollars; you usually get a tax deduction on your contribution and pay income tax when you withdraw the money from the account during retirement.2


This and other key differences make Roth IRAs a better choice than traditional IRAs for some retirement savers.

Yes, thanks. I already briefly read such information. But I don't get what means pre-tax and after-tax dollars in this case.

Okay, let's assume I earn 1000 dollars every month (that is net gains, I already paid taxes from my salary). And out of this money I want to invest 200 dollars in Roth IRA.

Will be this money considered as after-tax dollars and all my gains will be tax-free?

The first IRAs gave you a write-off for the contribution, and then taxed your withdrawals.
Roth IRAs have after tax contributions and tax free withdrawals.
Why is either illogical?

Theil makes a profit of 5 billion dollars less his $2,000 initial investment, and pays zero tax. Parrot thinks that’s wonderful.
 
Isn’t this just so nice? Buy stock within your Roth IRA and all the gains are tax free.

Yes. Within a Roth IRA. Hence all the profit is tax free because his initial $2k investment was done with after tax money. WTF!

Why is either illogical?
Because I would get an income out of my Roth IRA investment. And this income should be taxed as some another income.

Frankly, I don't get the reason in dividing my income in pre-tax and after-tax gains. I get a salary, pay taxes out of it, spend some of it for investment, and pay taxes if I earn money out of my investment (pay taxes on my gains. That is, if I invest 200 dollars and gain 500 dollars, then I will pay taxes out of 300 dollars).

That is as simple as that and is a fair thing, isn't it?

None. However I despise injustice.
