Bezos didn't leave the state to avoid paying tens of millions in taxes. Tens of millions is literally a rounding error to him at this point.
Too many folks really don't get how rich these billionaires are. Mackenzie Bezos tries to give her money away and simply can't do it fast enough.

Billionaires aren't living like the rest of us, just more extravagant. Without investing or spending the 2023 equivalent of $5,000/hr 24hr/day since the height of the Roman Empire, that person would still have less money than Gates, Bezos, Musk, etc.

If Bezos were really worried about Washington States's capital gains and wealth tax, he'd just pay the bribes (err… hire lobbyists) and buy the TV election ad campaigns like every other wealthy person who has successfully killed legislation they didn't like.
