    Looking it up, almost all of it is from stocks. Not sure how it works exactly, is that new stock he got or was it from his existing stock?

        Employees usually can’t just sell their stock whenever they want, especially at the C level. They have scheduled sales because they always have material knowledge about the company that would lead to insider trading.

        Regular employees will have long vesting schedules (often backdated to their start date if they worked there while it was private), and often can’t sell in certain blackout periods.
