Like many other billionaires, Philip Anschutz engages in sophisticated financial transactions. Controversially, he used complex financial instruments known as variable prepaid forward contracts hoping to avoid a whopping $144 million in capital gains taxes. The Tax Court disallowed the deals saying the taxes were due and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed. See Anschutz Co. v. Commissioner.
