The income thresholds for the seven federal tax brackets increased by a bigger-than-normal amount for the 2023 tax year to reflect runaway inflation seen last year.

That being said, "I would set tax rates quite a bit higher for rich people," Gates continued. Indeed, he said he would support a tax which axed 62% of his wealth—the equivalent of $101 billion.
