10m $ just for the domain ? I didn't know there are domains that expensive but as usually he is most likely talking crap and bought it for a few hundred k $
I agree with him that traditional education is often useless though

$10m is a lot, but its completely within the realm of possibility based on sales of other "high value" types of single word domain names. They do even stranger things these days, such as leasing use of a domain for tens of thousands of dollars under a multi year term.

However, what if he didn't actually buy it and is simply leasing the domain? Just a thought...
I feel that's unlikely because the domain transferred registrar from Namecheap to Cloudflare last October. There would be no need for a firm leasing the domain to change the registrar.

One thing I am curious about is why the Tates have such a corporate structure. They still have US citizenships, so I guess they're liable for the US worldwide tax - no way to avoid that. They have the Delaware LLC for US customers which makes sense, but why a Polish sp. z.o.o. if they are based in Romania? Polish companies have a minimum tax rate and generally aren't that tax-friendly. They don't fit in the 9% - that's limited to 2M zloty in turnover, so they'd still be paying 19% corporate tax and an above-average VAT. Not to mention that they are obviously creating Romanian PE and I imagine they are not giving anything to the Romanian tax office from the PL company revenues.
 
You're right, but it does not affect the validity of my point. HU / TRW still earns more than 2M EUR in yearly turnover from non-US customers.
As hinted earlier, the Tate brothers might be employing a strategy where their earnings are funneled to a trusted entity/individual in a low-tax jurisdiction. This setup could essentially back their lifestyle, paying some tax while high-value transactions are executed through the entities or people they trust. This heavily relies on trust in their management, yet it's hard to imagine someone will halt such a beneficial arrangement.

Additionally, it wouldn't be surprising if their 'public' setup is designed to mislead those looking into their financial structures.
