The letter discourages wealth inequality and urges a "devolution of wealth and power from the very richest."
Patriotic Millionaires UK have organised a new 'Proud to Pay' letter with over 100 signatures, encouraging the new UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham to tax millionaires more.
Former footballer Gary Lineker, musician Brian Eno and Gary Stevenson among other UK millionaires, have signed the letter.
AdvertisementA few days before Burnham became Prime Minister, he spoke in an interview on Lineker's podcast Goalhanger, where he was asked about wealth tax.
Patriotic Millionaires say a 2% tax on wealth over £10 million could raise £24 billion a year for the UK.
