"One fifth of Six Apart’s portion will go to executives Ben Trott (who founded the company with his wife, Mena), Andrew Anker and Jeff Ash. The rest is distributed among the rest of the Six Apart’s shareholders."

If my math is correct, that means the founder gets $3.9M * 1/5 * 1/3 * 0.75 = roughly $200k post-tax.

Ouch.
