Wikipedia says 57%. And apparently he lives in the UK these days.

Right, so there's a 57% income tax. But if it's a sole proprietorship he also has to pay the "employer tax" or whatever it is called.

I know nothing about taxation in UK, but I guess it also depends on where he has his company (if any) registered. Either way, it's a lot of money even if a lot of it is tax.

Yeah, he's in Hove, East Sussex. The local rag did a thing about him when he moved here.
