A "paycheck" is not an appropriate equivalent, because that implies that one is an employee. Profits from a business that you've started are the equivalent of a writer's royalties, and you are free to hand down ownership of that business to your heirs with
no limit on how long they can continue to reap the benefit of the continuing profits of that business - your descendents can certainly still profit from that business 100 years after you stop working.
