No idea on his ranking in tax-payers but I recall this coming out of the Paradise Papers: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/06/lewis-hamilton-avoided-taxes-jet-isle-of-man-scheme-paradise-papers
Honestly I'm not fussed about whether he lives in Monaco or not (though intentionally phrasing responses in such a way that you make it sound like it's Monaco or Stevenage isn't exactly conducive to a constructive discussion on the matter). A point was raised about not knowing why people would not like him. I listed some that I felt were likely causes.

I think the big one was the legal but ethically dodgy plane thing. From memory something to do with renting it from himself to save money.

Wasn't the tax thing partially debunked? I thought I read that he did pay tax on his UK
earnings, and was in fact in the top 5000 UK tax payers? May be mis-remembering
though.Does he earn much in the UK? He has used companies in the Isle of Man, Malta, Guernsey and other countries legally to reduce his tax bills.
Its not like there aren't other reasons to live in Monaco over Stevenage...
When he first moved out of the UK (to Switzerland), he did say it was to get away from the constant intrusion into his life that he experienced here.
