The wealth migration map just got redrawn. Savills dropped their latest rankings, and guess who's sitting at the top for high-net-worth individuals? Dubai. Not New York. Not London. Dubai.

Zero income tax. Zero capital gains tax. A regulatory framework that actually welcomes innovation instead of strangling it. Suddenly the "tax-free" part doesn't sound like marketing fluff anymore - it's a migration magnet pulling serious money eastward.

For anyone watching where crypto capital flows, this shift matters. When the ultra-wealthy vote with their wallets, they're not just chasing sunshine and skyscrapers. They're running calculations on asset protection, regulatory clarity, and long-term wealth preservation. The same calculus driving institutional money into crypto-friendly jurisdictions.

New York and London still have legacy advantages - deep markets, established networks. But when a desert city can out-compete centuries-old financial centers by simply offering predictability and protection? That's not just a ranking change. That's a signal about where global finance is heading.
