Do you owe local income tax just for being some place when stock you own pays a dividend? I'm not a billionaire, and neither have I ever paid income taxes while traveling for various accruals.

Who said it's only the "dividend"?

Billionaires don't tend to their business affairs when they're abroad?

No. They have good lawyers who advise them not to, and they follow that advice do they can stay billionaires.

Lol. Billionaires have all kinds of offices-away-from-home, complete with secretaries, accountants, and other employees.

It's just that no state would bust them on a "no business visa" issue for that, they want their money and investments.
