> For example, Mark Zuckerberg has a lot of money. So much that he can buy a mega-yacht and it not really affect him financially.

That phrasing deserves a pause. If someone has money, it came from somewhere - income - which is taxed. If you play that in reverse: someone who paid no tax had no income, and therefore no money.

Zuckerberg paid 13.7% tax [1]. Ballpark figure income [2,3] for that effective tax rate is $95K/year. You couldn't maintain a yacht on that income, let alone rent or buy one.
