In 2007, Jeff Bezos, then a multibillionaire and now the world s richest man, did not pay a penny in federal income taxes. He achieved the feat again in 2011. In 2018, Tesla founder Elon Musk, the second-richest person in the world, also paid no federal income taxes.
Michael Bloomberg managed to do the same in recent years. Billionaire investor Carl Icahn did it twice. George Soros paid no federal income tax three years in a row.
Illegally leaked, but interesting. Makes me less than thrilled to be paying my taxes.
