It's probably 2% of his take home pay (100k on 8.4 million pretax, highest bracket fed/state/local). Assuming NYS speeding ticket about $150 then that would be a annual salary of $7500, less than half the minimum wage. I bet you make more than that...
So no, this is a chunk, even for a millionaire.
Anyway, it's not a workplace that "lets a guy do what he wants". Yours probably isn't either.
