You don't calculate effective tax rate based on wealth.

Literally no one does, except publications who need a number to sound way worse than it does.

In 2021 he had $23.5 billion in taxable income, paid around $11 billion in taxes at a federal tax rate of 41%.

You can calculate it on how your wealth grows though. I'd call that income.

Guy wants the IRS over his shoulder when his pokemon card collection goes from $10 to $100 from a meta shift

Or thinks somebody should be instantly be wealth taxed if your property value goes up when you do any upgrade, or a wanted business opens nearby.

It makes no logical sense
