Why millionaires are migrating to Dubai and what it signals
Amid intensifying global scrutiny of wealth and rising tax pressures, Dubai is emerging as a strategic base for high-net-worth individuals seeking long-term security, capital preservation, and global mobility, a new report says. Betterhomes' latest mini-paper, Dubai: No Longer a Pit Stop, But the Finish Line for Global Wealth, shows that in less than ten hours, residents can easily connect with major cities worldwide, whether it's for business or leisure, highlighting Dubai's strategic location and seamless access to global markets. 'Far from being a transient luxury hub, the city is becoming a permanent home for the world's elite, drawn not only by its favourable tax regime and political stability but also by its infrastructure, safety, and unmatched global access,' the report says. This shift reflects more than a property trend; it signals a structural recalibration of global wealth flows. As legacy cities like London, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Paris grapple with rising taxes and growing instability, Dubai offers rare clarity: low tax, luxury lifestyle, and a robust infrastructure. In a world increasingly challenging wealth creation, Dubai stands out as a stronghold for the financially free, where wealth is not only respected but celebrated. Here, policies are designed to attract, not restrict, enabling individuals to safeguard their wealth, plan their legacies, and influence global markets from a secure base. As of December 2024, the UAE was ranked as the 14th largest wealth market globally, with 130,500 dollar millionaires, reflecting a 98% surge over the past decade, data shows. A historic migration surge Betterhomes anticipates a substantial surge of international wealth flowing into Dubai in 2025. This influx is projected to significantly reshape Dubai's standing within the global financial system. 2024 marked a significant peak in global millionaire migration, with over 134,000 individuals possessing at least $1 million in liquid investable assets relocating across borders. Early forecasts for 2025 suggest this figure will rise further, with approximately 142,000 high networth individuals expected to move internationally in search of security, stability, and opportunity. If even 5% of this cohort were to choose Dubai, the emirate would welcome an estimated 7,100 new millionaires, Betterhomes estimates. These are not transient tourists, but capitalised entrants arriving with substantial liquidity. At a conservative estimate, this would represent an inflow exceeding $7.1 billion (Dh26 billion), equivalent to nearly half of Dubai's total foreign direct investment for 2024. In a market defined by momentum and investor confidence, such capital inflows serve as both signal and catalyst. Diverse origins of wealth migration The origins of this capital migration are as diverse as they are strategic. Some arrive from East Asia, including Chinese entrepreneurs establishing offshore holdings in response to domestic policy shifts. Others are Vietnamese investors diversifying against rising political and economic uncertainty. From Turkey and Argentina come wealthy individuals seeking refuge from currency depreciation and systemic volatility. Even within established markets, such as the United Kingdom or the United States, Dubai is increasingly perceived as a pragmatic choice for capital preservation and growth, analysts say. These new arrivals are not mere spectators; they are institution builders, family office founders, and long-term strategists. They bring with them enterprises, teams, and a forward-looking mindset. Their presence underscores a growing recognition of Dubai not simply as a taxefficient jurisdiction, but as a platform for legacy, influence, and sustained wealth creation. 'Dubai's real estate market is no longer driven by speculation, but by strategic, long-term capital. We are seeing global wealth not just arrive, but anchor itself here, in branded residences, legacy properties, and high-quality developments built for permanence. As millionaire migration accelerates, the city's property sector will continue to evolve from a cyclical opportunity into a structural asset class. Dubai is not only a magnet for capital, it is becoming the benchmark for global residential investment,' said Louis Harding, CEO of Betterhomes.

Dubai Real Estate Attracts Global Investors Amid US Tariffs, Says Betterhomes Report
Dubai's property market is emerging as a global safe haven for investors amid rising US tariffs on steel and aluminum, according to a new white paper released by Betterhomes. The report, titled Will Trump's Tariffs Impact UAE Real Estate?, outlines how recent US trade measures are reshaping investor sentiment. While the tariffs are primarily aimed at industrial sectors, their ripple effects are being felt across global markets—including real estate. Betterhomes notes a surge in interest from US and Chinese investors, with inquiries up by over 40% and website traffic from those countries jumping 60%. 'Investors are looking for stability, and Dubai is offering that,' said Louis Harding, CEO of Betterhomes. 'We've seen a clear shift since the tariffs were introduced.' The findings align with previous research showing Dubai as a magnet for global wealth. The city now leads in attracting relocating millionaires, highlighting its rising status as a destination for luxury living and strategic investment. Despite global uncertainty, the UAE's economic outlook remains strong. A growing population, robust oil production, a record-breaking 19 million tourist arrivals in 2024, and over 3,500 ongoing infrastructure and real estate projects are fueling confidence. Dubai also plays a significant role in global trade, exporting 350,000 tonnes of aluminum to the US last year, especially for use in key sectors like aerospace and construction. Looking ahead, the emirate's Real Estate Strategy 2033 and national plans to double foreign investment to $65 billion signal a long-term vision. With targets to boost housing supply and increase homeownership to 33%, Dubai is positioning itself as more than just a luxury hotspot—it's aiming to become a central hub in the global property market.
