Lisbon enters the ranking of the 50 cities with the most millionaires in the world
Lisbon is not just a charming tourist destination with good food and a mild climate. The Portuguese capital has just joined the select group of the 50 cities with the most millionaires in the world, according to the World's Wealthiest Cities Report 2024, prepared by Henley & Partners in partnership with New World Wealth. But what does this data reveal and how can it impact you?
+22 thousand millionaires live in Lisbon today
- 22,200 millionaires (with assets over $1 million)
- 45 centimillionaires (over 100 million dollars)
- 4 billionaires
- Growth of 40% in the number of millionaires in the last 10 years
The significant increase in the number of high net worth individuals draws attention to a new role for Lisbon on the international stage: a city that attracts capital, innovation, investment and quality of life. And this has direct consequences on the real estate market, the economy and, especially, on policies to attract qualified foreigners.
What is behind this growth?
