Taxing isn't a solution for the richest individuals. It's a coping mechanism. Their egregious ill-gotten gains aren't justified by the government seizing it and misusing it. Most of that wealth should stay in the hands of the workers they're abusing.
That said, if the question must be answered, above 99% when you're earning literal hundreds of millions, and including funds held overseas&etc.. Tax capital, not money.
