Multiply the tax rates by 20% and the tax brackets by 20:

Assume
0% below 20x GDP wealth
2% between 20x and 40x GDP
4% between 40x and 80x GDP
8% between 80x and 160x GDP
12% between 160x and 320x GDP
16% between 320x and 640x GDP
18% between 1280x GDP and 2560x GDP
20% above 2560x GDP

Assuming GDP/head = 25k, we're talking no wealth tax below 500k, and 20% above 64M.
