The real issue often gets overlooked in this conversation.

When we talk about capital outflows, it's not just ultra-wealthy individuals leaving the table. Plenty of centimillionaires are doing the same.

Here's the thing: once society establishes a precedent of targeting $1 billion+ net worth individuals, where does it stop? If the framework normalizes wealth seizure at that level, what's the logical barrier preventing it from trickling down to $100 million, $50 million, or lower?

For every prominent figure who relocates, there are roughly 100 other high-net-worth individuals quietly making the same calculations. The math gets compelling once you realize the threshold keeps moving. When policy starts chasing fortunes, migration isn't dramatic—it's just arithmetic.
