In Norway you get fined for driving under influence proportional to your income, typically 1.5 times your monthly income before taxes.

What if you’re a billionaire but lost money in the last fiscal year?

Above a certain income level, being fined 1.5 months of your income is mearly a blip on the radar.

Plus most of the super rich actually have quite a small personal income, their wealth is from ownership of companies. There's a high chance you earned more than Bezos last year [0].
