A recent report by Henley & Partners highlights Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh as emerging hotspots for the ultra-wealthy. These Gulf cities are expected to see their populations of centi-millionaires-individuals with liquid assets of USD 100 million or more-more than double by 2040.

Currently, Dubai ranks 15th globally with 212 centi-millionaires, while Abu Dhabi and Riyadh occupy the 50th and 51st positions with 68 and 67 centi-millionaires, respectively. These cities, along with Asian metropolises like Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Taipei, and Bengaluru, are identified as "centi city hotspots" to watch.

The report predicts a growth rate exceeding 150% in the centi-millionaire populations of these locations over the next 16 years. This trend signals a shift in global wealth distribution, with emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East poised to make significant impacts.

The report by Henley & Partners underscores the significant rise of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh as key destinations for centi-millionaires, with their populations projected to more than double by 2040. This anticipated growth, alongside emerging Asian metropolises, indicates a notable shift in global wealth dynamics, highlighting the increasing influence of the Middle East and Asia in shaping the future of wealth distribution.
