包括拉里·埃里森和谢尔盖·布林在内的亿万富翁们正涌向加州和内华达州交界处的高档社区,抢购房产,似乎是为了逃避加州拟议的“亿万富翁税”。
上个月,布林斥资4200万美元在内华达州太浩湖畔购置了一处房产。甲骨文公司联合创始人拉里·埃里森也一直在悄悄地在内华达州境内购置豪宅,在水晶湾和因克莱恩村等内华达州的精英社区买下了价值数百万美元的住宅——这些社区以其私人海滩、封闭式庄园和壮丽的湖景而闻名。
布林购买豪宅的水晶湾位于内华达州瓦肖县太浩湖北岸。根据2020年人口普查,这里人口仅有300多人,为居民提供了充足的隐私。
布林的新豪宅拥有16,232平方英尺的居住空间,包括七间卧室、十二间浴室、一个可容纳十人的家庭影院、一个可容纳1,687瓶葡萄酒的酒窖和十三座壁炉。
这座豪宅还拥有525英尺长的湖滨地段,配备两个船坞、一艘季节性使用的驳船以及一栋专属的沙滩别墅。
位于瓦肖县太浩湖北岸的因克莱恩村人口更多,约有10,000人,但同样拥有令人叹为观止的湖景。
埃里森最近以4500万美元的价格出售了他在旧金山太平洋高地占地11000平方英尺(约1020平方米)、拥有五间卧室的豪宅,预计于2025年底完成交易,这进一步削弱了他与加州的联系。
知名亿万富翁税务顾问大卫·莱斯佩兰斯告诉《华盛顿邮报》,“考虑到如果加州亿万富翁财富税真的在11月获得通过,可能会给他的财政造成数十亿美元的潜在损失,我怀疑埃里森先生被告知,保留加州住所并不值得,将来可能有被税务部门认定为加州居民的风险。”
据税务基金会称,这项名为“2026年亿万富翁税法案”的加州公投提案将“对该州亿万富翁的净资产征收5%的一次性税”。预计该提案将于2026年11月进行投票表决。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的科技顾问、亿万富翁大卫·萨克斯称这项亿万富翁税提案是盗窃税。
萨克斯在瑞士达沃斯世界经济论坛上表示:“这不是税收,这是资产没收。这不是一次性的,而是史无前例的。”
在加州推行了二十多年的左翼政策后,萨克斯离开加州前往德克萨斯州。
Big-money billionaires, including Larry Ellison and Sergey Brin, are flocking to ritzy little enclaves at the California-Nevada border to scoop up property and seemingly escape the Golden State’s proposed “billionaire tax.”
Brin plunked down a whopping $42 million last month on a Lake Tahoe estate in Nevada. Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has also been quietly amassing luxury properties just over the state line, snapping up multimillion-dollar homes in elite Nevada enclaves like Crystal Bay and Incline Village — prized for their private beaches, gated estates, and sweeping panoramic views of the lake.
Crystal Bay — where Brin bought his mansion — is located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe in Nevada’s Washoe County. It offers plenty of privacy to residents, with a population just over 300 people according to the 2020 Census.
Brin’s new pad boasts 16,232 square feet of living space, including seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a 10-seat theater, a 1,687-bottle wine cellar and 13 fireplaces.
The mansion also comes with 525 feet of lakefront property, complete with two boat lifts, a seasonal boat barge and its very own beach house.
Incline Village, also located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe in Washoe County has a larger population, with around 10,000 people, but still offers incredible views of the lake.
Ellison further cut ties with CA when he recently sold his sprawling 11,000 square foot five bedroom San Francisco mansion in Pacific Heights for $45 million at the end of 2025.
“Given the billions in potential damage to his fiscal house if the California Billionaire Wealth Tax actually passed in November, I would suspect that Mr. Ellison was advised that retaining a California residence was not worth the risk of some future tax claim that he was domiciled in California,” David Lesperance, a leading billionaire tax advisor, told The Post.
The CA ballot initiative, called the “2026 Billionaire Tax Act,” would “impose a one-time tax of 5 percent on the net worth of the state’s billionaires,” according to the Tax Foundation. It is expected to be on the ballot in November of 2026.
President Donald Trump’s tech Czar, billionaire David Sacks, called the billionaire tax theft.
“This is not a tax — this is asset seizure,” Sacks said from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “It’s not a one time, it’s a first time.”
Sacks left CA for Texas after more than two decades of lefty policies in the state.
