Where are the billionaires moving to?
The top five destinations for high-net-worth individual migration this year include Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, the U.S. and Switzerland, according to the report, which defines high-net-worth individuals as those with US$1 million or more of investable wealth.
The most moved-to states in 2023 included South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona and Florida, with cities like Tucson, Arizona; Charleston, South Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; and Raleigh, North Carolina being particularly attractive because of their low cost of living, ...
For wealthy Americans looking for an expat lifestyle, Portugal—with its pristine beaches, low cost of living, and easy access to the U.S.—has long been the top destination.
Not only does Florida not tax capital gains, it has no state income tax or estate tax. That makes it ideal for the ultrawealthy who are considering estate planning, says Garcia. He expects more to move to the Sunshine State in the near future.
Texas similarly has favorable tax policies for individuals and businesses. For similar reasons, companies like Oracle and Tesla have established themselves in Austin, while Goldman Sachs is at work on a new hub in Dallas.
According to the report, California, New York, and Illinois showed the most net negative outflow of wealth, focusing on high-income taxpayers. California lost $343.2 million, New York lost $299.6 million, and Illinois lost $141.7 million.
The accelerating exodus from California in recent years, of both companies and people, has been well documented. The pandemic-induced rise in remote work, inflated housing prices and changing social conditions have spurred more Californians to pull up stakes.
- Aurora, Colorado.
- Lexington, Kentucky.
- San Jose, California (sort of… low violent crime rate but lots of car thefts)
- Arlington, Texas.
- Austin, Texas (kinda high for property crimes. Most of the cities in Pennsylvania are reasonably safe. Only Philadelphia has a high crime rate.
New York City
The Big Apple is home to 340,000 millionaires, 724 centi-millionaires, and 58 billionaires. It is the financial center of the USA and the wealthiest city in the world by several measures.
Total household wealth grew in 2022, but white households still hold the vast majority. Since 2010, the wealth disparity between Black and white families has persistently expanded.
Where is Jeff Bezos relocating to?
Last year, Bezos announced on Instagram that he was leaving Seattle after nearly 30 years to move to Miami. In 2022 Washington state imposed a new, 7% capital gains tax on sales of stocks or bonds of more than $250,000.
Earlier this summer, Bezos purchased a home in Indian Creek Village in August. The exclusive area in Miami is known as “Billionaire Bunker” where he will be neighbors with celebrities including Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.
We need to point out that the neighborhood of Port Royal in Naples is considered one of the most wealthy areas in the U.S.! It has the most millionaires per capita than any other city in Florida. Town skyline of Naples, Florida, USA before sunrise.
Access to Talented Workforce
Another reason why Elon Musk moved to Texas was the state's access to a talented workforce. Texas is home to several top-ranked universities, including the University of Texas and Texas A&M University, which produce a large number of highly-skilled graduates each year.
As of March 2022, California was the U.S. state with most billionaires, with 186 billionaires calling the state home.
While there's no question that Austin has become another important tech area, it doesn't produce the number of start-ups with venture capital backing that's prevalent in Silicon Valley. Tech experts argue that Austin is more of an outpost or a colony, rather than a direct competitor for California.

California income tax increase for 2024
The payroll tax expansion increases the state's top income tax bracket from 13.3% to 14.4%. The new 14.4% tax rate applies to income over $1 million. That exceeds other notoriously high-tax states by far. New Yorkers making more than $25 million are taxed at a 10.9% rate.
Why don t billionaires just retire?
While people age 65 and up are better prepared, it's still only about 7% of them who have $750,000 or more saved for retirement. Billionaires, on the other hand, rarely have to worry about having enough money to retire. Instead, retirement is often about shifting priorities and focus.
New York and California were the top two states that had the highest number of people moving out as a share of their total number of movers.
New York City isn't just the city that never sleeps. It's also the most popular place in the country for the 'super-rich. ' A March report from data firm Altrata found that 21,714 ultra-high-net-worth individuals, or those worth over $30 million, own a primary or secondary residence in the city.
They live in 43 of the 50 states. The only states with no billionaire residents are Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia.
