This is a joke right?
OK. Taking you seriously for a moment:
In order of your questions:
They can make as much money as someone is willing to pay them in a job.
They can spend as much money as they make at their job or are able to get loans for (credit cards).
He can sell his stocks at any time to anyone for any amount. The question is, will people pay as much as he'll want? Probably not in the current environment.
The company might pay him a salary if he works there. 34% is not a majority ownership, so the other owners would have to agree with him on what his salary should be.
You're not stupid, you're ignorant of certain aspects of the business world. That is not a bad thing. You are willing to ask questions, which is a good thing. Being stupid is not asking questions when you recognize that you don't know anything about a certain subject that you want to understand.
