Then they must have changed the rules. There’s the infamous story of Peter Thiel transferring all of his PayPal shares into his Roth…at a time when the contribution threshold was only $1800/yr.

Could you ask a more specific question please?

No, cash contributions only. You'd have to sell the shares first.

You sure that’s how he did it? I’ve read he started it with about $2,000 cash and then used his accredited investor status to buy pre-ipo stock in early-stage companies like PayPal and Facebook. I have not read that he transferred stock directly into the Roth. That’s typically not allowed.

Yeah he was allowed to buy pre-IPO shares for something like a tenth of a cent a share with the full contribution. Crazy good scam for not being a “scam”.

Thank ya! I’ll just dump a bunch of cash in then.

Just meant what are you trying to accomplish ? What does cost basis matter in a roth ?
