Best Destination For Ultra Rich: Where Is It?
Global wealth migration is surging like never before, with ultra-rich individuals and families increasingly relocating to new countries.
By: Tupaki Desk | 13 Feb 2026 3:28 PM ISTWhile there is a decline in the job market, it must also be noted in parallel that the rich are obviously getting richer, regardless. Incidentally, let us have a look at the most popular destination for the ultra rich community globally.
Global wealth migration is surging like never before, with ultra-rich individuals and families increasingly relocating to new countries. A combination of changing tax laws, political uncertainty and a stronger focus on risk management is driving this trend.
Wealthy people no longer base relocation purely on lifestyle or business opportunity they now view where they live as part of a broader strategy to protect their assets and future generations.
Countries that offer stable policies, low or no income tax, and generous residency or citizenship options are the big winners. The United Arab Emirates has become the most popular destination, attracting the highest net number of millionaires.
Its flexible visas, business-friendly environment and tax advantages make it especially appealing. Other preferred locations include parts of Europe such as Portugal and Greece, traditional wealth hubs like Monaco and Switzerland, and select options in Asia and the Caribbean that provide favorable financial conditions.
At the same time, some established markets are seeing significant outflows. Changes to tax regimes and regulatory uncertainty have pushed affluent residents to rethink their permanent bases.
Younger wealthy individuals particularly those under 55 are the most mobile, willing to move more quickly and frequently than in the past. This wave of relocation reflects a broader shift in how global wealth is planning for long-term security and growth.
