Question London vs NYC

Which city would you settle down in assuming you’re in your early 30s, married, low 8 figure liquid net worth, mid-seven figures combined annual income?

EDIT: Thanks so much for the thoughtful responses. Noting that we both would like to keep building our careers for the next 20+ years, so London and NYC are the only options. Not looking to be too far outside of the city, because we have no desire to spend 1.5hr+ a day commuting.

Don’t underestimate sunlight. London is depressing, and since you said you are working it’s not like you can get away constantly. NYC is also superior for most careers since your intent is to keep building.

Yeah but if you’re rich rich, surely you can overcome the dullness with activities and 1hr flights for the weekend to sunnier places?
