      Why not both?

      The problem is that once you are super rich you don’t really have an income anymore. You just expand your wealth and you end up paying way less taxes on that.

      This is something that the common mortal can’t even think of.

        don’t really have an income anymore

        You’re delusional. High and UHNW individuals also tend to have high income.

        just expand your wealth

        Income expands wealth. Unrealized income will be taxed eventually.
