FOR THOSE INTEREST IN WHERE THE RICH ARE MOVING TO...

Millionaire migrations can be a positive sign for a nation’s economy. The losses for India, Russia and Turkey were gains for havens like Canada and Australia, joined lately by the United Arab Emirates.

Owing largely to the stability and glitter of the most famous emirate, Dubai, the United Arab Emirates in 2017 had a net inflow of 5,000 millionaires, increasing the size of its affluent population by 6 percent, the largest gain in the world. Britain was among the millionaire havens until 2016, but may continue losing ground until it can resolve the uncertainties raised by Brexit.

Equally surprising was the lack of change in the United States, where the arrival of a billionaire president did not seem to attract or repel millionaires. A net total of 9,000 millionaires migrated to the United States last year,

BUT WAIT . . .we were told that Hollyweird’s multi millionaires were going to beat it out of USA and emigrate to other WHITE countries?

A net total of 9,000 millionaires migrated to the United States last year, but they represent a drop in the ocean of five million American millionaires.

What is a "millionaire?"

Somebody with a positive net-worth of a million dollars or more?

A million dollars isn't that much these days. A house that you paid off decades ago and appreciated, a 401K, a savings account and a brokerage account get a lot of people there these days.

My bet is there are a lot more than 5 million in the USA.

Are millionaires leaving or going to certain states like Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California? What about free states like Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia?

Would think this same reasoning applies to states.

Writer is a total dumbass. 5 million millionaires in the USA?

Uh:

“As of the end of 2016, there were a record 10.8 million millionaires nationwide, according to a new study from Spectrem Group’s Market Insights Report 2017.”

Erdogan is destroying Turkey’s economy at its roots.

Turkey led the world last year, in millionaires moving out. The smart money is leaving, as part of a broader brain drain of the skilled and educated.

“In 2017, the largest exoduses came out of Turkey (where a stunning 12 percent of the millionaire population emigrated) and Venezuela. As if on cue, the Turkish lira is now in a free fall.”

Although the current stampede of capital flight from Iran might edge Turkey out of first place this year, the Turkish exodus continues, as Erdogan has only become more oppressive and capricious.
