Mapping the Migration of the World’s Millionaires
Throughout 2022, a projected 88,000 millionaires will move to a new country, according to the latest Henley Global Citizens Report.

This graphic maps the migration of high net worth individuals (HNWIs)—people with a net worth of over US$1 million—showing where rich people are flocking, and where they’re fleeing.
Migration of Millionaires is Back

| Year | # of HNWIs that migrated | Y-o-y change |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 108,000 | 14% |
| 2019 | 110,000 | 2% |
| 2020 | 12,000 | -89% |
| 2021 | 25,000 | 108% |
| 2022P | 88,000 | (Read more...) |
