A tale of two Londons – Nick Shaxson’s new Vanity Fair article

Posted on March 13 2013

Nick Shaxson's Vanity Fair articles have impact. One broke the story of Mitt Romney's offshore tax affairs. And, of course, he wrote Treasure Islands. He's also a Tax Justice Network team member.

In his latest article he asks who really lives at One Hyde Park, called the world's most expensive residential building? Its mostly absentee owners, hiding behind offshore corporations based in tax havens, provide a portrait of the new global super-wealthy.

This is an excellent piece of work from Nick. It seems that we have here as owners a collection of the world’s most corrupt people. Location, location, location. We could wipe out a big slice of their ill-gotten gains with 100% collection of the land rent.
