If I put only my sweat into my internet startup and sold it 2 yrs later for $100m, How much taxes would I pay?

I am trying to figure out the capital gains taxes when you start a business (E.g. a dot com or any small business). Assume that you put your sweat into the business etc… and got other investors to invest in the company. If I sold my company for $100m 2 yrs later and my share of the company was 50% or $50m at the time of exit. How much taxes would I have to pay on my share? And after taxes, how much cash would I have left over to party with?
