Peter Thiel's Roth IRA.

I knew the billionaires have access to legal loopholes to avoid taxes, but damn having a 5 Billion dollar tax-free war chest seems insane to me. I think the government is going to remove Roth options altogether if this trend of self-directed IRA's continues to be exploited by the ultra-wealthy.

Initial thought: Wow. 

Second thought: Well played, Peter.

Third thought: Imagine if we had smarter people in Congress?

 

Although 140 million pails in comparison to 5B, I think Ted Weschler’s Roth is equally as impressive since he did it through public equities.
