Dubai has emerged as the city with the highest number of billionaires in the Middle East, according to a recent study by Wealth-X called the Billionaire Census 2023. While Saudi Arabia leads among countries in the region, Dubai stands out as the preferred destination for the super-rich.
The study highlights Dubai’s strong appeal to billionaires, who choose the city as their residence or business hub. Overall, the city has 38 billionaires who contribute significantly to the collective wealth of the Middle East.
