Coates’ ‘Unspendable’ Income

Critics say Coates’ wages are obscene, amounting to to a greater extent than any case-by-case canful spend inward their lifetime. But unlike some members of the super-rich, she’s prepared to face the taxman.

The Coates kinfolk is the UK’s biggest taxpayer, contributing over $500 zillion ($691 million) in 2019 inwards income and corporation tax.

Intriguingly, the family line has long been a conferrer to the Labour Party, which at the utmost election advocated taxing the rich, curtailing the power of billionaires, and imposing tighter controls on the gaming industry.

Well, it’s certainly difficult to encounter anyone who was paid higher cobbler's last year, although admittedly non all the results are in, and there are potential to be individuals who are turned the radar.

It has been reported that Elon Musk was the topper paid executive director inward 2020. But it’s not that simple. Musk is non paid a salary at all but is compensated at Telsa via an flesh out performance-based rewards contrive that mainly involves caudex options.

This either means he earned over $700 meg in 2020, or nothing, depending on who you hear to.
