In 2024 alone, the UAE welcomed more than 13,000 new millionaires, bringing the total to 240,343 residents who now hold nearly US $785 billion in private wealth. That’s about one millionaire for every 30 adults—a ratio most countries can only dream of.

But this story isn’t just about numbers. It’s about why so many choose the UAE as their new home for wealth, business, and lifestyle.

Why People Move Their Capital Here

The attraction is clear:

  • Tax-free income – You keep what you earn.
  • Golden Visa residency – Long-term stability tied to property.
  • Luxury real estate growth – Homes here are more than assets; they’re lifestyle statements.
  • Global lifestyle appeal – World-class dining, schools, healthcare, and connectivity.

Dubai Leading the Way

Dubai alone now counts over 81,000 millionaires—double the number from just a decade ago. I’ve seen the shift with my own eyes. What was once thought of as only a “holiday city” is now a serious financial hub where investors trust the ROI, the stability, and the long-term growth.

More Than Wealth

This surge isn’t just about millionaires—it proves the UAE has become a magnet for capital, talent, and opportunity. When people of means settle here, they bring businesses, networks, and innovation.

And unlike cities that punish rising wealth with higher taxes, the UAE continues to offer clarity, freedom, and opportunity. That’s why people aren’t just investing—they’re staying.

Just between us

our wealth feels secure here in Dubai down to the last penny. For me, that’s enough. We’re not living in Robin Hood times anymore 🙂
