I believe in both Norway and Finland the fine is proportional to the income, so fines can easily go into millions of dollars for billionaires.

I got a speeding ticket once in Finland. I didn't know about their system at the time, but I instinctively lied when they asked me about my income. I was still supposed to pay something like 400 Euros. One thing that amazed me at the time was that they told me exactly what would happen, namely that I'd get a few angry letters and then nothing happens. So this is what I did.

Yes, I vaguely recall reading an article where the big boss of Nokia or Ericsson was fined "millions of dollars" for speeding in one of those Nordic countries. That was probably ~20 years ago.
