What happened: California Democrats endorsed a 5% billionaire tax, joining Rep. Ro Khanna's call to extend it to $50 million net worth. Meanwhile, UK millionaires asked PM Andy Burnham to tax them more. In California, a one-time, 5% tax on billionaires will appear on the November ballot. Governor Gavin Newsom also proposed a national billionaire tax.

Market impact: The proposed taxes could impact wealth management services and high-end real estate in California. Tech billionaires, like Elon Musk, could face significant one-time taxes, potentially affecting their companies' stock valuations. If passed, it may set a precedent for other states or countries to impose similar taxes.
