Less tax, more luxury: millionaires flock to Dubai

Dubai's zero income tax and golden visa scheme attract 9,800 millionaires in 2024, boosting luxury property sales and injecting over $7 billion into its economy, Henley & Partners reports.

  • The UAE is attracting unprecedented numbers of wealthy individuals in 2024, with roughly 9,800 millionaires relocating there, making Dubai a top luxury property market.
  • This surge follows tightening taxation and scrutiny in countries like Britain, pushing high-net-worth individuals to seek Dubai's zero income tax and stable economic environment.
  • Dubai offers an easy luxury lifestyle, minimal bureaucratic hurdles, and amenities like world-class healthcare, modern infrastructure, and iconic landmarks, attracting diverse professionals and entrepreneurs.
  • Mike Coady said his clients feel taxed and scrutinized more elsewhere while wealth is 'normalised' in Dubai, and billionaire John Fredriksen called Britain 'gone to hell' before moving there.
  • The surge of millionaires has driven a thriving luxury real estate market in Dubai, where sales of properties valued at $10 million or more reached 435 units last year, potentially injecting $7.1 billion into the economy and reinforcing the city’s appeal to the global wealthy.
