But then, there are taxes.

That is about the same amount of tax as the tax paid by 268 median high school teachers, 305 median police officers, or 432 median fire fighters. After paying the IRS, he would have $4,119,716 left over. However, he may still have to use some of that money to pay state or city taxes as well.
