California relies heavily on billionaires and other high earners. In 2023, more than one-sixth of the state's personal income tax revenue came from the top 0.1% of earners -- or about 17,500 tax returns.

We agree with Jensen Huang that California has a tremendous talent pool of workers uniquely qualified to continue moving many industries forward, including within the tech sector and beyond. This initiative will ensure the $100 billion healthcare funding crisis created by HR1 in July is fixed, so that all of those workers can access emergency rooms and vital healthcare in California. Frontline caregivers are glad to hear that, much like the overwhelming majority of billionaires, Mr. Huang will not be uprooting his life or business to make an ideological point over a 1% per year fix to a problem that Congress created last July -- and that California will unite to solve this November.โ
- Suzanne Jimenez, ballot sponsor and Chief of Staff, SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West
And where is the SEIU-UHWW, the union sponsoring the billionaire tax measure, on all of this? Theyโre glad that โmuch like the overwhelming majority of billionaires, Mr. Huang will not be uprooting his life or business to make an ideological point.โ

Threat of California Billionaire Tax Draws Criticism From Ultrawealthy
Hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman is among the billionaires who have taken issue with the proposalโs idea of taxing the wealthyโs assets.
In the final hours of 2025, some high-profile tech investors criticized a proposed tax on the ultrawealthy in California, while some big-name billionaires took steps to create distance between themselves and the Golden State -- more from me and @benglickman.bsky.social: www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
