Gregory Baszucki, brother of Roblox’s founder and a longtime board member, reportedly holds at least $68 million in retirement accounts after buying roughly two million Roblox shares in his Roth IRA before the company went public. He sold about a third of his stake after the debut, avoiding a federal capital-gains tax of as much as 20% on the profit. The Wall Street Journal reports that more than 1,000 people had IRA balances of at least $25 million in 2024, more than double the number in 2019, while about 11,600 people held $10 million or more, up from just over 3,600. Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Richard Neal introduced a bill on July 22 that would require annual withdrawals from accounts over $10 million, aiming to close what Wyden called an egregious loophole that lets the ultrawealthy dodge taxes on insider deals.
