That part wouldn’t be part of his total compensation because it’s not actually income.
But I’m fairly sure he gets dividends. Because there are other shareholders and they wanna get paid too. Much lower tax rate than when making the same amount in salary.
I worked on calculating the total compensation packages for a major investment firm. We’re talking VERY large. They got most of their income in “internal shares” with long term incentive delays on them like 3 years.

I mean he could pay himself $1 a year and still be making a killing in dividends since he still owns over 40% of the company.

Yes, when I say pay I mean total compensation. Those people take cheap loans out against their equity.
