I was going to post something similar. His money is mostly in stocks. IF he draws a salary from any of his companies, THAT is taxed by FICA. I'm not sure if stock options count as normal income. Usually "stock options" are literally the option to buy into a companies stock at a set price that is typically lower than the market price for that stock. If he is given stock as part of his pay, I believe that is taxable income. If it is just the option to buy stocks, it isn't income until he cashes in some of that stock, even then, it would be taxed under the capital gains tax laws and I don't think FICA applies to that type of income.
