Actually not trying to be contrarian here, just this is how some of my friends are. I don't get my dick hard from having houses in every hot spot in one country and prefer to just go out of country. Even thinking about that, one of my friends literally ships his cars overseas...

In the US a tax paying citizen needs to declare a primary residence for Federal tax purposes, which would dictate what state one would register his cars and pay the requisite taxes and fees and it also dictates his matching address on his license and registration documents. If one is of the wealth level you discuss, they should be wealthy enough to afford the taxes on the expensive cars they buy. I think that is all we are expecting is such individuals pay the required taxes and fees regardless of the value of the automobiles they purchase, just as everyone is required to do. Not an unreasonable ask, IMO.
If Montana allows a person to create a shell LLC to register his cars to avoid sales tax, then he should live in Montana as his primary residence. Does Montana allow its residents to avoid state sales tax under an LLC?
