Of course, whatever miniscule (in comparison to the capgains) amount of taxable wages they have they'll pay income tax on, but not the capgains.
This is why, for example, Steve Jobs took $1 salary a year. So he could completely avoid income tax. Most aren't that extreme, but the vast bulk of the upper 15 earnings is in capgains.
