The United Arab Emirates is set to be the world’s leading wealth magnet for the third year in a row.
That’s according to new research by Henley Private Wealth Migration Report.
The tiny Gulf nation is expected to see an unprecedented net inflow of 6,700 millionaires from around the world by the end of 2024, according to the report released on June 18.

A record-breaking 128,000 millionaires, or high net worth individuals with liquid investable wealth of $1 million or more, are expected to relocate in 2024, according to the report.
