Take India as an example: The highest-paid billionaire in India is Pawan Munjal (of "Hero" brand fame), who has a pay ratio of 752 times the median in his business.

If you answered ‘Yes’ to the earlier question, do you think the government in your country will be able to increase high income/wealth tax to fund post-COVID recovery? Argentina’s Millionaire’s tax (https://cnb.cx/2MosnKl) is an example, which briefly means that those with a personal fortune of over USD 2.4 million — approximately 12,000 people in Argentina — will have to pay a one-off tax of at least 2%.
