Hedge Fund Billionaire Chris Rokos Reported to Be Leaving UK for Greece
Rokos Capital Management founder, who reportedly paid £330m in UK tax last year, is said to be preparing a move to Athens amid a wave of super-rich departures.
Hedge fund billionaire Chris Rokos is preparing to leave the UK, according to a report by Bloomberg cited by the Guardian, becoming the latest in a string of high-profile exits among Britain's wealthiest residents.
Rokos, the founder of Rokos Capital Management, is said to be planning to move his residency to Greece and will open an office in Athens as part of the relocation, the report said.
According to the Guardian, Rokos paid £330m in UK tax last year. His planned departure comes amid what the Guardian described as fears among the super-rich over potential tax rises in Britain.
The move follows a broader pattern of wealthy financiers and businesspeople leaving the UK, though the Guardian report did not specify further details on the timing of Rokos's relocation or his reasons for choosing Greece.
Neither Rokos nor Rokos Capital Management has been quoted directly in the available reporting confirming the move.
