California Proposes Billionaire Tax Act Targeting Wealthiest Residents

California is considering a proposed "2026 Billionaire Tax Act" that would impose a tax of up to 5% on the net worth of residents with over $1 billion. The measure, introduced by a healthcare union, aims to raise an estimated $100 billion for healthcare, food, and education. Wealthy individuals like Larry Page and Peter Thiel could face substantial tax bills, potentially prompting some to reconsider their residency in the state.
