How dare they try to pay people who work for them. Everyone should volunteer. 

Forbes doesn't make money. It's basically Steve's vanity project.

That's just ridiculous. Congratulations on getting to the peak of your chosen field, you won't need any of the compensation that you earned.

Newton is looking at a tax bill more than twice as much, which will swallow up his entire Super Bowl paycheck, win or lose, thanks to California’s tops-in-the-nation tax rate of 13.3%.

am i missing something on the math here?

More than likely on the "how it works" portion.  They get to tax him based on his entire yearly salary not just the amount he "earns" this week.  So instead of taxing him on his SB bonus they'll tax a percentage of his 2016 calendar year income calculated from how many days he "works" in CA.  That comes out to way more than his SB bonus so he'll wind up losing money or basically breaking even.
