    Five Founders, Same Exit Value – Wildly Different Payouts

    Stop making million-dollar decisions alone. Hampton gives you a personal board of eight vetted founders in your city who meet monthly to tackle your hardest problems. Find your group: https://joinhampton.com/ Five founders. Five exits. All around $30 million. So why did one walk away with $30M – and another with just $2M? From taxes and co-founders to deal structure and equity rollovers, the factors that shape a founder's final payout are rarely simple. This episode is your crash course in what really happens when a deal closes. Here’s what we talk about: How Eran Galperin took home ~$30M while still keeping ~50% of his companyWhy Scott Galloway only netted $2–3M from a $33M saleHow Alex Hormozi earned more from distributions than the $31M exit itselfThe ultra-simple, debt-free deal that netted two Canadian brothers $20M eachMarshall Haas’ $18M cash payout – and why he held onto equity for peace of mindWhy the "headline number" often masks the founder’s true financial outcomeThe impact of seller notes, taxes, state residency, and post-sale rolesWhat to consider before you sell to avoid regret or burnoutThe myth of the $1B exit – and how one founder only took home $70M Cool Links: Hampton https://www.joinhampton.com/Lower Street https://www.lowerstreet.co/Chapters: (0:42) Five Exits, Five Wildly Different Payouts(1:37) Eran Galperin: The Gym Desk Power Play(4:19) Tax Dodges & Seller Notes: Cash Isn’t Always King(5:22) Scott Galloway: $33M Headline, $3M Reality Check(7:39) Alex Hormozi: Gym Launch – Cash Out, Cash In(8:32) The Sinkinson Brothers: Double or Nothing in Canada(11:56) Marshall Haass: The Art of the Partial Exit(13:17) Why Smart Founders Never Sell It All(15:28) Scoreboard Envy: Don’t Get Played This podcast is a ridiculous concept: high-net-worth people reveal their personal finances.

    Stop making million-dollar decisions alone. Hampton gives you a personal board of eight vetted founders in your city who meet monthly to tackle your hardest problems. Find your group: https://joinhampton.com/ Not every smart investment starts with a pitch deck or a business plan. Some of the best returns come from personal bets founders make with their own money.

    Stop making million-dollar decisions alone. Hampton gives you a personal board of eight vetted founders in your city who meet monthly to tackle your hardest problems. Find your group: joinhampton.com Everyone wants to know what founders really earn, but most of the numbers out there are either outdated or just plain wrong.

(and whether they’d do it again)The sweet spot for founder take-home pay: how much is too much?C-Suite compensation breakdown: who's earning what, and where bonuses explodeLifestyle vs. legacy: how founders think about cash flow vs. long-term exitsIndustry winners: finance, pets, and healthcare dominate earningsThe one funding stage where founders earn the leastNon-salary perks: credit card hacks, expense runs, 401(k) tricks, and company-backed loansA rare peek into the creative (and sometimes questionable) ways founders make it worth their whileCool Links: Hampton https://www.joinhampton.com/Lower Street https://www.lowerstreet.co/Sponsors: Get a team of AI agents that run compliance for you at delve.co/moneywiseAchieve your dream body with dailybodycoach.com/moneywiseTame your taxes today at https://olarry.com/moneywiseChapters: (1:37) Base Salaries(3:14) Founders Who Pay Themselves Nothing(3:56) Salary Distribution and High Earners(4:34) Additional Payouts and Bonuses(5:11) Two Types of Founders: Reinvesting or Cashflow(6:14) Take Home Pay by Net Worth(7:18) C-Suite Salaries and Bonuses(8:43) Industry Salary Breakdown(9:24) Highest and Lowest Paying Industries(10:03) Compensation by Funding Stage(10:52)  Creative Compensation StrategiesThis podcast is a ridiculous concept: high-net-worth people reveal their personal finances.
