Question about solo/self-employed 401ks: If I create a sole-member LLC for a side business and create a solo/self-employed 401k, am I only allowed to make contributions from the earnings earned via the LLC? Or am I allowed to contribute money earned from a different source (ie W-2 job).

You can contribute from any source. However, the amount you can contribute will be limited based on the LLC’s earnings as well as any contributions you/your employer makes to a 401k from your main job.

You cannot contribute more than your net earnings, which is ~92% of the net income on Sch C.

All 401(k) contributions are employer contributions. The "employee" portion you're referring to is the elective deferral of compensation. You cannot elect to defer compensation which doesn't exist, which is why the elective deferral cannot be more than net earnings.

Would love to see a story on how much Activision CEO Bobby Kotick, 59,has made since he and partners bought Activision out of bankruptcy in 1991 for $400k. He now owns 0.53% so at $95 a share that Microsoft is paying, that alone is $400 mil. But in 2020 alone his pay package was valued at 154 million (some of this is overlapping in his stake)!! Would be fun media story to add up his 1991-2022 comp to the $400 mil to see his total return from what was a fraction of $400k investment 30 years ago.
