Google co-founder Larry Page avoids California tax by moving to Miami

Google co-founder Larry Page has relocated from California to Miami, Florida, to avoid a potential 5% wealth tax on billionaires proposed in California's Proposition 40. Page, with a net worth of $292 billion, would have owed approximately $15 billion under the proposed tax. His family office and other associated entities were reincorporated in Delaware, and he purchased two Miami properties for a total of $173.4 million. Page is one of several tech billionaires, including Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel, who have moved to states with no income or wealth taxes to minimize their tax liabilities. AI
