Financial experts predicted Jeff Bezos’s move to Florida would pay off handsomely—and they were right. So far, the Amazon founder’s tax savings have been astronomical, worth an estimated $1 billion this year alone.

    I left California because it charged the same rate on capital gains. Like you could owe nothing federally, but have to pay state income tax. It was also more annoying because I had to mail it! 12 pages don’t fit into an envelope so I didn’t even send them my full return

      Oh no. A rich person had to pay taxes on their gambling and it was annoying. The horror.

        The point isn’t that you should feel sorry for him. It’s that he didn’t pay the tax but did take his money elsewhere. I don’t think California benefits when that happens.
