I'm just speculating here that the commercials are unpaid and listed on her deductions as public service charity performance and approximate value of her tax liability.

Wouldn't be too surprised either if it turns out she's a shareholder either.

@SteelHands She has an 8% stake in the company. Translates to about 5 million shares.

@SteelHands I knew she had bought a large chunk and was one of the largest single shareholders because I remembered the announcement. But I did look up how much she actually held.
