The image of Dubai as an untouchable desert sanctuary has been challenged by regional instability caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran with some of the super-rich fleeing the UAE.
As security concerns grow, the global elite are eyeing Milan as their next home base. The draw is clear: EU access combined with a competitive $350,000 flat tax on foreign wealth.
However, Milan’s transformation into a "millionaire capital" comes at a cost, as local residents grapple with a housing market increasingly dominated by the super-rich.
Can Dubai can regain its footing as the ultimate global hub with tax-free incentives or can Milan become the permanent new home for the super-rich?
