I mean, maybe? But long-term capital gains are a low tax bracket, so the “in a high tax bracket” part doesn’t apply.

I’m curious what portion of his wealth is even taxable. Remember that Bush Jr did a “capital gains forgiveness” year with 0% long term gains rate. I expect many many many of the wealthy sold and then rebought all their major assets that year.
