In the comment you replied to, the commenter says:

> If most of your on-paper net worth is unsellable assets, I don't think it would be much of a stretch to say those wouldn't be subject to a hypothetical wealth tax.

I don't think so.

A home is a tangible asset easy to sell. Paper shares in a startup is totally different.
