Well, he worked on it for a couple of years, and the valuation of Truth Media or whatever is (I think) in the billions, so making 100k to make a multi-billion dollar product is being the fool.
But getting a guaranteed payout is tricky to negotiate, because at the beginning there's nothing and you're talking about big numbers of value...
So what you do is you say you want a bonus based on the valuation of the company, so either you get stock, stock options, or a pay-day during a investment / merger-acquisition events. If you say you want a cash payout of 1% of the company valuation at the next investment / M&A then you get a 3bn$ company valuation and you're looking at a 30mn$ check...
