Minister of Finance Evangelos Venizelos, who announced the measure that incurred the wrath of the entire Greek people, falls below the "psychological" barrier of € 10,000. According to the assessment, he will pay about € 9,500 for 20 properties. Of them, € 2,500 relate to property in Thessaloniki's suburb of Pilea. The Vice-President of the Greek government owns two large properties on Fanarioton Street in Athens and in Oreokastro, a suburb of Thessaloniki.
 
The former minister in the  New Democracy government George Voulgarakis and his wife Ekaterini Peleki will pay around € 9,000 for 50 properties. Most of them are the personal property of George Voulgarakis, who is not currently a deputy, and nearly half of them belong to him and his wife equally. Twelve of the flats are located around Likavitos hill in downtown Athens and the other 25 - in the area of ​​Heraklion in Crete. The family has two flats with a total area of 300 sq. m in the winter resort of Arachova and other large properties in the region of Athens.

The far right LAOS leader George Karatzaferis will also pay a significant amount of tax. The contribution will be a little higher than € 8,500 for a flat in the suburb of Paleo Faliro and the two more expensive properties in Kallithea and the resort town of Litohoro.

Almost € 8,000 in tax will be paid by New Democracy deputy Nikos Nikolopoulos. He owns 32 flats, some of which are located in areas with high real estate values. For a flat of 222 sq. m on Klaus Street in Patras alone, the extra tax amounts to € 1,000.

The former "strong man" in the government of Costas Karamanlis, Theodoros Roussopoulos is also iincluded in the list of owners of many and expensive properties, for which he will pay € 5,774. His house in Kapandriti with an area of 400 sq. m, for which he found himself at the centre of negative criticism in the press several years ago, is only one of his properties. The rest which he declared in 2008 are located in areas such as Kessariani, the suburb of Anavyssos, the island of Paros and Pyrgos Dirou in the Peloponnese.
