Five Founders, Same Exit Value – Wildly Different Payouts
Episode 85
Monday, 29 December, 2025
Stop making million-dollar decisions alone. Hampton gives you a personal board of eight vetted founders in your city who meet monthly to tackle your hardest problems. Find your group: https://joinhampton.com/Five founders. Five exits. All around $30 million. So why did one walk away with $30M – and another with just $2M? From taxes and co-founders to deal structure and equity rollovers, the factors that shape a founder's final payout are rarely simple. This episode is your crash course in what really happens when a deal closes.Here’s what we talk about:How Eran Galperin took home ~$30M while still keeping ~50% of his companyWhy Scott Galloway only netted $2–3M from a $33M saleHow Alex Hormozi earned more from distributions than the $31M exit itselfThe ultra-simple, debt-free deal that netted two Canadian brothers $20M eachMarshall Haas’ $18M cash payout – and why he held onto equity for peace of mindWhy the "headline number" often masks the founder’s true financial outcomeThe impact of seller notes, taxes, state residency, and post-sale rolesWhat to consider before you sell to avoid regret or burnoutThe myth of the $1B exit – and how one founder only took home $70MCool Links:Hampton https://www.joinhampton.com/Lower Street https://www.lowerstreet.co/Chapters:(0:42) Five Exits, Five Wildly Different Payouts(1:37) Eran Galperin: The Gym Desk Power Play(4:19) Tax Dodges & Seller Notes: Cash Isn’t Always King(5:22) Scott Galloway: $33M Headline, $3M Reality Check(7:39) Alex Hormozi: Gym Launch – Cash Out, Cash In(8:32) The Sinkinson Brothers: Double or Nothing in Canada(11:56) Marshall Haass: The Art of the Partial Exit(13:17) Why Smart Founders Never Sell It All(15:28) Scoreboard Envy: Don’t Get PlayedThis podcast is a ridiculous concept: high-net-worth people reveal their personal finances.
