      I have another proposal: 99% taxes above $1 million (equivalent) of income, including ALL income.

        So, I don’t know how things work in specifically Russia, but in general, I think that it’s not so much the level of taxation as it is loopholes.

        For example, can the companies that he controls be directed to lend him money on terms that he directs without it being taxed by the Russian state?

        More-broadly, I’d guess that it would be exceptionally difficult to impose taxes on specifically him, because he’s buddies with Putin and tied up in control of the country. If the system is actively interested in avoiding taxing you, it’s likely going to find ways to not do so.
