Dubai, as a global hub for luxury living and investment opportunities, has solidified its position as a top destination for high-net-worth individuals. In 2023, the city ranked first globally for foreign direct investment (FDI) projects, attracting an estimated capital of $11 billion. This growth in wealth creation has significantly impacted Dubai’s real estate market, with transactions over Dh15 million increasing by 30% in the first quarter alone. The UAE has welcomed 99,000 millionaires, with over 72,000 residing in Dubai, making it the city with the highest concentration of wealthy individuals in the Middle East.
