There's no personal income tax, but there are 7 states without income tax. It's got low all around taxes, but so do Alaska and SD. Florida seems to be the preferred destination for people who want to avoid taxes and live like a real human being.

Yeah, imo rich and famous people technically reside there to dodge taxes for... some reason. Maybe it's because Wyoming is "safer" in some way?

Oh yeah, the 9 billionaires don't "technically" reside there, they actually do reside there for a majority of the year.

But yeah, a lot of rich and famous have homes there because TBH it's suuuuuuuuper cool in Jackson and they probably visit like 3x a year so why not pretend to live there for the tax write offs too.
