The UAE is becoming a top destination for the world’s elite. Over the next five years, it could welcome as many as 50,000 millionaires, according to Wealthbrix Capital CEO Rajesh Khanna.
In a recent conversation with Khaleej Times, Khanna said the country is already on track to receive around 9,800 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in 2025 alone, more than any other country this year. He believes that number will grow rapidly and could easily reach 45,000 to 50,000 by the end of the five-year period.
People from India, the UK, Russia, Southeast Asia, and Africa are driving this wave of wealth migration. And it’s no surprise why. The UAE offers a mix of zero income tax, long-term Golden Visas, safety, and an upscale lifestyle that’s hard to match.
More than just a stopover, it’s now seen as a serious investment hub and a place to call home. That’s exactly what Wealthbrix Capital is betting on. The firm recently launched in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) with an eight-figure dollar investment. It focuses on the often-overlooked “mid-tier millionaires”—people with $5 million to $30 million in investable assets.
Globally, this asset dynamic segment controls more than $55 trillion in wealth and is growing faster than other groups. Khanna explained their approach in simple terms: “We’re not giving clients a fixed menu. We’re offering a multi-cuisine kitchen. It’s flexible, personalized, and backed by technology.”
As thousands of Million-level clients look to relocate, the UAE is clearly positioning itself as the place where wealth wants to be and where forward-looking firms like Wealthbrix Capital are ready to welcome them.
