Kwi-2011, uJeff Bezos akahlawulanga kuphela i-0 yedola kwirhafu yengeniso, kodwa wafumana i-4,000 yeerhafu yetyala labantwana bakhe.MANDEL NGAN / AFP ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty Ukusuka UJeff Bezos kunye no-Elon Musk ukuya UWarren Buffett noMichael Bloomberg, phantse bonke abantu baseMelika abazizityebi abangama-25 bahlawula i $ 0 okanye irhafu yengeniso engalunganga kwiminyaka ethile kunye neqondo eliphantsi kakhulu lerhafu kunabantu abakumgangatho ophakathi baseMelika kwabanye, uphando lwedatha yeNkonzo yangaphakathi yeNgeniso ProPublica ufumene.
Ayizondaba zokuba izityebi ze-ultra zihlala zifumana iindlela zokuphepha ngokusemthethweni iirhafu. Kodwa ingxelo okokuqala inika ukukhanya ngokuthe ngqo kwindlela encinci abahlawule ngayo kule minyaka idlulileyo. IproPublica ijonge kwidatha yokubuyisa irhafu yamawaka abantu abazizityebi eMelika kwithuba elingaphezulu kweminyaka eli-15.
Iziphumo azothusi. Umzekelo, uBezos, osisityebi emhlabeni, akazange ahlawule rhafu yengeniso ngo-2007 nango-2011; UMusk uhlawule i $ 0 kwirhafu yengeniso yomanyano ngo-2018 kwaye usozimali usozimali uGeorge Soros wenze kwaleminyaka mithathu ilandelelana.
Ukujonga ngokucacileyo ukuba ingakanani imali yeebhiliyoni ezihlawulwe xa kuthelekiswa nomndilili waseMelika, iProPublica yenze umlinganiso obizwa ngokuba yinyani yerhafu, ichazwa njengesixa semali yengeniso ehlawulwa ngumntu kunyaka onikwe ngokwahlulwa kukhula kwabo kobutyebi kwangelo xesha linye, usebenzisa idatha yeForbes.
Ingxelo iqale yajonga abantu abazizityebi abangama-25 besizwe. Phakathi kuka-2014 no-2018, aba bantu bangama-25 babone ixabiso labo ngokudibeneyo bekhula ngama-401 ezigidigidi. Ngaloo minyaka bahlawula i-13.6 yezigidigidi zeerhafu kwirhafu yengeniso yomanyano, efikelela kwinqanaba leerhafu eliyinyani leepesenti ezi-3.4 kuphela.
Ngokuthelekisa, ikhaya eliqhelekileyo eliphakathi eMelika elinengeniso yonyaka engama- $ 70,000 ihlawula irhafu yengeniso yomanyano malunga neepesenti ezili-15. Iirhafu zabo zenyani zinokuphakama njengepesenti ye-100 kwezinye iimeko. Ngokomndilili, amakhaya aphethwe ngabarhola umvuzo kwi-40s yabo yokuqala abone ixabiso labo likhula malunga ne-65,000 yeedola emva kweerhafu ukusuka kwi-2014 ukuya kwi-2018, ikakhulu ngenxa yokunyuka kwexabiso lamakhaya abo, yatsho ingxelo. Kuba bayarhafiswa kwimivuzo, bagqibela ngokuhlawula phantse yonke irhafu yengeniso kwithuba leminyaka emihlanu.
Phakathi kwama-25 aphezulu uWarren Buffett unenqanaba elisezantsi lerhafu eyi-0.1 yeepesenti. Phakathi kuka-2014 ukuya ku-2018, wabona ubutyebi bakhe buvuka nge-24.3 yezigidigidi ngelixa ehlawula kuphela i-23.7 yezigidi zeerhafu. 
Iibhiliyonari kunqabile ukuba zithengise izabelo zeenkampani zazo, ezenza uninzi lobutyebi bazo. Ilahleko kutyalo-mali lwangaphandle, nangona kunjalo, zihlala zixelwa njengenxalenye yengeniso yokwehlisa iindleko zerhafu.
Ngo-2011, iBezos yaxela ingeniso embi ngenxa yelahleko yotyalo-mali. Ngapha koko, wenza imali encinci ephepheni kangangokuba wade wenza ibango kwaye wafumana ikhredithi yerhafu ye-4,000 yabantwana bakhe. Izibonda ze-Bezos eAmazon yayixabisa i-18 yezigidigidi zeedola ngaloo nyaka.
Iimali zerhafu zikaMusk nazo zincinci ngokumangalisayo. Ngaphandle kuka-2016 xa wayesebenzisa ngaphezulu kwe- $ 1 yezigidigidi kukhetho lwesitokhwe, i-CEO yeTesla yahlawula i-68,000 yeedola kwirhafu yengeniso yomanyano ngo-2015, i-65,000 yeedola kwi-2017, kwaye akukho nto ngo-2018. IProPublica ithe uMusk uphendule kumbuzo wokuqala ngesiphumlisi sodwa: ' ? '
IproPublica ayichazanga ukuba idatha ifunyenwe njani. I-IRS utshilo NgoLwesibini ibisungule uphando lokuchonga umthombo wokuvuza.
