In a testament to its status as a global economic powerhouse, Dubai has secured its position as the Middle East's millionaire capital, boasting a staggering 72,500 affluent residents, according to a recent report by Henley & Partners.

Dubai's millionaire landscape includes 212 centi-millionaires, individuals with a net worth exceeding $100 million, and an impressive cohort of 15 billionaires, solidifying its reputation as a playground for the ultra-rich.
Over the past decade, Dubai has witnessed an astonishing 78 percent surge in its millionaire population, reflecting the city's robust economic growth and unwavering appeal to global investors. Similarly, Abu Dhabi has experienced a 75 percent increase in millionaire residents, while neighboring Sharjah boasts a remarkable 95 percent rise, with 4,100 millionaires now residing in the emirate.
