    23k is the max annual contribution. The money is taxed upon withdrawal. It’s not “hidden”.

      In a 401k? Yes. But if you read the article:

      Today, wealthy taxpayers can protect up to $452,500 per year in tax-advantaged accounts in a single year, saving up to $203,600 on their taxes. And they can keep their money in tax-advantaged accounts far longer.

      There are many types of tax-advantaged accounts.

      23k is the max annual contribution

      If you’re over 50, you can put $30,500 in your 401k, the extra $7500 per year is called a ‘catch-up contribution’
