Yelp's Chairman Used Under-the-Radar Roth Strategy to Get $95 Million Into His Account, And He Will Never Pay Another Dollar Of Tax On That Money. The Same Tax Rules Apply To You
Max Levchin, co-founder of PayPal and former Yelp chairman, amassed a $95 million tax-free fortune in a self-directed Roth IRA by purchasing pre-IPO Yelp shares at a nominal valuation.
