Peter Thiel Relocates Family to Argentina
The billionaire has bought a $12 million mansion and enrolled his children in local school as he weighs Argentina as a backup home.
- Tech billionaire Peter Thiel, 58, has temporarily relocated his family to a $12 million mansion in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the country as a strategic 'Plan B' escape hatch from the United States.
- Concerns over California's proposed 'One-Time Wealth Tax for State-Funded Health Care Programs Initiative' prompted Thiel's move, as the 5% tax on assets over $1 billion could cost him $1.4 billion from his $28 billion fortune.
- Engaging with local leadership, Thiel met with Argentine President Javier Milei and participated in chess tournaments and economist dinners discussing Argentina's economic history and the Antichrist.
- Argentine Cabinet chief Manuel Adorni welcomed global billionaires fleeing regulation, though Argentine politician Elisa Lilita Carrió wrote on X that 'what Peter Thiel is doing is terrible' regarding his Palantir ownership.
- Despite the relocation, Thiel retains US citizenship and keeps more than 99% of his fortune in the United States, indicating the move serves as a hedge against global risks rather than a total departure.
