Chris Rokos is moving to Greece as part of a broader wealth exodus from the United Kingdom
Chris Rokos, the founder of Rokos Capital Management and the third-largest taxpayer in the U.K., is relocating to Greece. He plans to open an office in Athens as part of his move to the Mediterranean country. This relocation follows a series of high-profile exits by wealthy individuals from the United Kingdom, many of whom have cited government plans for tax increases and the overhaul of the non-dom regime as primary reasons for leaving. Other notable figures who have moved include Shravin Bharti Mittal, Nassef Sawiris, and Richard Gnodde. While the administration announced a series of new sanctions against Israel, the British government is also navigating the shift in its tax landscape. The move by Chris Rokos and other billionaires highlights a growing trend of talent and capital fleeing the country as the government seeks to balance wealth creation with new regulatory policies.
