For one thing, he's hiding his financial records. And even if his immediate earnings from, say, holding the G7 summit at his property were confiscated, there will be future earnings as a result of having the summit there (from the publicity, from the renovations, etc.).

Plus, he'd tie it up in courts for years.

I think impeachment and removal is the only recourse.
