They're California dreaming of going to Miami. A proposed California wealth tax on billionaires has some of the state's wealthiest residents looking at real estate in South Florida, BI's Jordan Pandy and Madeline Berg write. I know what you're thinking: Rich people moving to Florida for tax reasons? What a concept! But this isn't about the retired doctor you know settling down in Boca or Palm Beach. These people have three-comma net worths and are looking for nine-figure homes.
Main Idea: A proposed California wealth tax is pushing some of the state’s richest people to look at Miami real estate instead.
Key Points:
A California wealth tax could push billionaires like Larry Page to buy up Florida homes, driving up prices and crowding out local buyers.
A few high-end purchases may bring more real estate and service jobs to Miami, though gains for most households are uncertain.
