None of these billionaires are native Florida men, but it's not the sand and the sun that's bringing them down there. So why are billionaires scrambling to get into Florida all of a sudden?
这些亿万富翁都不是土生土长的佛罗里达人，但吸引他们来这里的并不是沙滩和阳光。那么，为什么亿万富翁们突然争先恐后地涌入佛罗里达州呢？

South Florida wants to be the perfect place for you to live. If you're extremely wealthy, Miami has always been a popular destination for the ultra wealthy to spend their summer vacations.
南佛罗里达州希望成为您的完美居住之地。如果您非常富有，迈阿密一直是超级富豪度过暑假的热门地点。

But now they are moving to Miami for good and they are doing it for three surprising reasons. The first reason is that Florida is a safe haven for wealth.
但现在他们要永久搬到迈阿密，他们这样做有三个令人惊讶的原因。第一个原因是佛罗里达州是财富的避风港。
A unique quirk of Florida law makes only a home there a unique financial tool.
佛罗里达州法律的一个独特之处是，只有那里的房子才能成为一种独特的金融工具。
Florida has unlimited homestead exemptions on personal bankruptcy, which means that if someone declares bankruptcy, their primary home cannot be taken from them to pay back their lenders, no matter how expensive their home may be.
佛罗里达州对个人破产有无限的宅基地豁免，这意味着如果有人宣布破产，他们的主要住所不能被没收以偿还贷款人，无论他们的房子有多贵。
The law was created to make sure that Floridians always had a place to call home even if their business ventures went wrong.
制定这条法律是为了确保即使佛罗里达州人的商业活动失败，他们也总有一个可以称之为家的地方。
If you are a billionaire and you are afraid that your personal finances are falling apart, you can buy a home worth $100 million in Florida.
如果你是亿万富翁，你担心个人财务状况会崩溃，你可以在佛罗里达州购买价值1亿美元的房子。
Since the state sets no limit on the value of your homestead even if you do go bankrupt, you still get to keep an asset that you can set up with generational wealth.
即使你破产，该州也不会对你的宅基地价值设限，你仍然可以保留一项可以用世代财富建立起来的资产。
If you don't ever go bankrupt, then a nine figure mansion on Palm Beach is a really nice insurance policy that you get to live in.
如果你从未破产，那么棕榈滩的九位数豪宅就是一份非常好的保险，你可以住在里面。
Other states do have similar unlimited homestead exemptions but not many of them have homes worth enough to preserve the wealth of a billionaire.
其他州也有类似的无限宅地豁免，但其中没有多少州的房屋价值足以保留亿万富翁的财富。
Florida has the right combination of property taxes, property values and property laws.
佛罗里达州拥有正确的房产税、房产价值和房产法组合。
And it's also still a nice place to live if you're a billionaire. But using Florida as an asset bunker is just the first reason.
如果你是亿万富翁，这里仍然是一个不错的居住地。但将佛罗里达州用作资产掩体只是第一个原因。
