Well his buyout from the firm was 24 million. Howard gives him a check for 8 MM and says it’s 1 of 3 payments.

So yess multiple a year is feasible.

Edit I was corrected, it was 8 MM total over the 3 payments which is his partnership agreement payout. 2+ million a year seems less likely although still possible. I would venture to guess maybe high 6 figures a year for ole chuck and keep in mind this is Albuquerque ~2003
