I know a majority of Bezos’ and Musk’s net worths are stock ownership. But they obviously would want to make actual cash. So do they just sell a bit of their stocks every year? How do they gain their ownership back then, aren’t they just decreasing their ownership of company stocks? Would they just buy more stocks then? And if so, isn’t that an endless loop of nothing? Sell your stocks to get money, but then buy the stocks back for more ownership of the company?

When you’re rich, a lot of people want to give you loans. If you know your company is about to have a breakthrough (in Elon’s case, it’s everyday), you buy the stock with the loans (don’t make it obvious or that would be insider’s trading, and it’s illegal). When the stock goes up, you sell just enough to pay back the loans, and still have plenty to spend without dipping into your original share of ownership.
