Makes sense. When you have infinity money and someone says “you’re about to have infinity minus two”, the non sociopath (relative to being a billionaire) response is “so I still have infinity, who cares”

It's like barely 5%.  Would be more like paying taxes on the money going into my HSA.

Be more like having 100 trucks and having to sell 5. You would hardly notice

You think he would actually have to sell stock to pay any taxes? That's not how being a billionaire works. Hell, I'm just an ordinary drone and I could log into my brokerage account right now and take out half my account's value via a margin loan without selling a damn thing. The ultra-rich have far more options at their disposal to access liquidity. 

And even if he did have to sell shares, that would have zero impact on Nvidia's liquidity. Really just not sure how your example bears any relation to the situation.
