News and context: key insights into the luxury real estate market

The number of Ultra High-Net-Worth Individuals (people with a net worth of more than $30 million, abbreviated as UHNW) will grow by 33% by 2030. Each of them owns an average of three luxury residences in different countries. Investments in luxury real estate are increasingly intersecting with issues of migration, residence permits, and global lifestyles. Luxury real estate is no longer just a home — it is becoming part of a global portfolio, a tool for preserving capital, and an element of lifestyle.

Wealthy clients are increasingly choosing locations that offer not only a prestigious address but also strategic advantages: tax flexibility, quick access to residency or citizenship, and developed infrastructure for business and family.

1. Miami ranks first in the world in terms of popularity of second homes among UHNW individuals.
2. Outside the US, London, Beijing, and Hong Kong lead the way. These cities remain strategic centers for wealthy investors. They are followed by Singapore, Geneva, Munich, Milan, Paris, Zurich, and Dubai.
3. Dubai entered the top 10 for the first time thanks to its unique combination of tax advantages, active development of the elite sector, and the Golden Visa program.
4. Monaco confirms its status as the capital of UHNW: there are 22 residents for every UHNW individual.

We encourage you to learn from those who invest in luxury real estate, as experts note that wealthy individuals today are focused on security, mobility, and reliability, which leads to significant long-term results.
