OMG! Seattle is no more! Will Jeff get a remote work exception or will he be forced to report to an office in a main hub location. Hopefully he doesn't mind all the iguanas, hurricanes, and tourists outside his $79M and $68M homes on a tiny island. And what's he doing with that big Yacht? Maybe sell it and donate the proceeds to his workers?

By moving to FL, he is doing a tax dodge on WA's new 7% capital gains tax for gains of $250,000+. Insurance taxes in FL are higher than WA, but they're a drop in the bucket versus capital gains overhead. On a small $100M gain, he would pay about $7M additional in capital gains tax if he stayed in WA. Though likely pocket change still.
