Well, France’s prime minister could always put up a Berlin wall around the border to keep the French in. The East Germans tried that with some success. Or he could just lower taxes so people don’t want to leave.... Nahhh.

Typically it’s a two stage process: step 1, become a Belgian citizen; step 2 (a couple of years later), become a Monaco citizen. Monaco doesn’t allow French citizens to become Monaco citizens directly (so as not to piss off the neighbors).

Gérard Depardieu has said he is handing back his French passport and social security card, lambasting the French government for punishing "success, creation, talent" in his homeland.

Taxes??
But according to local Mayor Daniel Senesael, "I think he wanted to enjoy the atmosphere in Belgium, our identity, the rural, bucolic setting," Senesael told RTL radio.

The Cyrano de Bergerac star recently bought a house in Nechin, a Belgian village a short walk from the border with France where 27% of residents are French nationals, and put his sumptuous Parisian home up for sale.

"So long, Stinktown!"

In 70s Bjorn Borg moved from Sweden to Monaco for tax avoidance.

This is not new, and is predictable. Britain is losing high income tax filers, because of increased tax rates.
