Tina Turner passed away on May 24 after a long illness. Born in the United States, she later became a Swiss citizen.
She settled there together with her German partner Erwin Bach. The low taxes in Switzerland certainly helped to preserve their assets. But others in Switzerland also benefited from Turner's presence. The purchase of the aforementioned estate on Lake Zurich brought the municipality of Stäfa in the canton of Zurich a real windfall. Thanks to the purchase of real estate, the income from the real estate gains tax skyrocketed to such an extent that general taxes could be reduced.
