Maybe that would work? I would certainly have that discussion with him and his agent. Let him be a part of building something in Dallas. Enjoy the advantages of a state with no state income tax and where there's no forced vax nonsense. His approach to life is really more like TX than NY or CA.
1st year 40,064,220, 3 years plus PO (3+1), total over 4 years is $178,063,200.
