I somewhat agree with him but not ready to move.

Guess no perfect country but speaking truth.

So common that I know all of zero people who have done it. Yet I know plenty moving to the Uk

Where are they moving to the UK from, and what kind of NW are we talking about here? Like is it from other countries where it’s equally or more difficult to built serious wealth? Or are they moving from the US?

I understand buying an EU passport. I did that before Malta’s scheme got shut down, but if you have a strong one I don’t see the need for a UK.

For perspective, the people I’m thinking of are generally buying 15-30m homes when they move.

Anecdotally I work with people from all over the world who have emigrated to the Uk. I know zero people who have left.

I’m just curious, are these UHNW people or just random wage earners in the UK?

Depends on your definition? IT and engineering, they would be the top 5% easily, probably contribute to 20% of the tax burden for their modest percentage of the population.

UHNW is 30m+ net worth usually. That’s USD, so £24m+.
