Do you know why is Dubai so rich?... It’s not because of oil...

Oil is just 1% of Dubai’s GDP, and its brother Abu Dhabi is where the oil really is.

So, to kickstart economic growth, they focused on the following steps:

👉🏼 1/ Incentivise the rich to visit the city - which you do by creating a tax haven...

Realise you’re right in the middle of Asia, Africa and Europe with access to sea - so promote exporters to set up export business here with tax breaks. Also helps them reduce logistics costs.

👉🏼 2/ Make visa processes as easy as possible to attract cheap labour from all neighbouring countries which would help you build the infrastructure for growth of business

👉🏼 3/ Build tourist attractions with the initial capital and more to retain the rich, and give them reasons of lifestyle and not just tax saving to actually move their base here

👉🏼 4/ Once you’ve started concentrating millionaires and billionaires in a place, double down on luxuries and build an entire market around luxury retail, luxury housing, and experiences

Dubai has the highest density of millionaires in the world with over 65000 millionaires in a population of ~3.5 Mn people.

Now, once this base is ready, give them the option of a Golden Visa to come move and start living here with family.

👉🏼 5/ Anything that goes wrong in the world - Ukraine Russia war - the wealthy from Russia start moving here with their money...

Pakistan’s economy crashes... the rich from Pakistan start moving here.

UK taxes are sky high, Brexit starts affecting your business, the European economy is down - people start moving their base to Dubai

Crypto folks don’t have any places to run their business with reasonable political stability... invite them to set up base here (with some regulation)

👉🏼 Dubai is the city, where the global rich move to save taxes, enjoy luxuries, and escape political instability.

Over 5000 millionaires moved to Dubai just in the past one year, and there aren’t enough luxury homes in the tiny city.

Real estate starts booming.

It’s a flywheel.

why is dubai so rich it's not because of oil oil is just one percent of its gdp but they have a strategy that anything goes wrong in the world dubai benefits russia ukraine war all the money from russia starts flowing to the bike while pakistan's economy is in the doldrums all rich pakistanis move their base here
while they realize that they were bang in the middle of africa europe and asia which makes it the perfect place to set up export trade and they started giving these people zero percent tax benefit
now to invite the valley what they want is first cheap labor to build the infrastructure they open up their economy a lot of cheap labor flooded dubai and build tourism infrastructure now the wealthy start coming in they start giving them golden visas to move their families europe
now
dubai actually has the highest density of millionaires in the world over sixty five thousand millionaires in a total population of just about three and a half million now these people need avenues to invest and to spend money so luxury real estate comes up luxury retail comes up so you look at the strategy they give them the lollipop of zero tax but built an entire ecosystem where money first flows into dubai is spent in dubai is invested in dubai and you start controlling power by having all millionaires here
think about it and share it with someone we needed
