## Resource

California’s poised to become the first state to impose a billionaire tax, levying 5% on net worth over $1 billion — including stocks, art, and IP — with funds earmarked for healthcare and food aid. While other states like Washington and Maine are also cracking down on high earners, California’s move signals a growing trend of state-level wealth taxation. But with billionaires already fleeing ahead of the vote, fears mount of lost revenue and economic fallout — forcing ultra-wealthy residents to navigate complex domicile rules and rethink where they truly call home.
