Over $1.5 TRILLION in billionaire wealth has left California since 2019.
Major relocations include:
• Elon Musk (Tesla, X, etc.)
• Larry Ellison (Oracle)
• Drew Houston (Dropbox)
• Joe Lonsdale (Palantir/8VC)
• Larry Page (Google co-founder)
• Sergey Brin (Google co-founder)
• Peter Thiel (PayPal/Palantir)
• David Sacks (Craft Ventures)
• Don Hankey (Hankey Group)
• Lynsi Snyder (In-N-Out Burger)
• Mark Zuckerberg (Meta)
Over $1 trillion shifted out in the last 80 days since the 5% Billionaire Tax Act was proposed on November 25, 2025.


People don’t know that California’s top 1% pays 45% of state income tax.
Even a small billionaire moving out can hit the tax base fast.
