As a CEO id be stupid to get a salary. Dividends and stocks are much better tax-wise. Well maybe id get a smaller salary for the advantages in retirement and tax-free accounts and everything, but not much more than whats needed.

Stock grants are taxed as regular income.

Edit: downvotes from people who have no idea how stock, compensation, or taxes work, apparently.

Search the Internet for RSU tax liability in the US. It's taxed as supplemental income and is subject to withholding.
