What It's Like To Be A Billionaire In Singapore

What It's Like To Be A Billionaire In Singapore

Singapore is a breathtakingly beautiful tropical island that the world’s richest flock to for a place in Asia’s growing economic hub. It offers competitive tax rates, low corruption, and political stability. But that’s not all that attracts billionaires to this city-state-- it’s also one of the most luxurious and expensive places to live in the entire world. Are you ready to find out why? Singapore has over 40 billionaires as of 2021. They enjoy luxurious mansions, towering penthouses, sandy beaches, and super yachts. The city has an airport for private jets and exclusive country clubs with insanely high fees. But the city’s billionaires-- from Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin to med-tech entrepreneur Li Xiting-- can definitely afford the city’s high cost of living. Even cars in the city are about 5-times more expensive than in the United States. From Nassim Road to Marina Bay and Sentosa Island, there are plenty of ritzy neighborhoods for the city’s billionaires to choose from. They offer exclusive housing, proximity to high-end retail, and even some of the best medical centers in the world. In the first half of 2021, the amount of money spent on real estate exceeded what was spent in Manhattan in the same six-month period. The Lion City has become the new Big Apple, with billionaires hurrying to buy up limited land and take advantage of the country’s tax incentives.

The 15 Richest Families in Singapore 2023...


The 15 Richest Families in Singapore 2023...

15 Richest families in Singapore. Singapore's economy is a highly advanced free-market economy with dirigiste traits. The economy of Singapore has historically been rated as being the most open, the fourth-least corrupt, and the most pro-business in the entire globe. In terms of purchasing power parity, Singapore has the second-highest per-capita GDP in the world and low tax rates. Singapore is the seat of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation or APEC. The Singaporeans are the Switzerland of Asia. The movie, Crazy Rich Asians weren't set in Singapore just for clout, it was a statement of fact. When you hear about Asian money you're probably thinking Chinese or Japanese and you'd be right. The Chinese and Japanese do have a lot of money but they're not “crazy rich”. Singapore's share of millionaires, which includes citizens and permanent residents, is anticipated to increase from 7.5% in 20 21 to 9.8% in 20 25 and up to 13.4% by the end of the decade. By 20 30, 67% of Singaporeans will be worth over at least 200 and 50,000 dollars. There is no doubt Singaporeans are very wealthy but how do the families hold up? You’d expect that Crazy Rich Asians would have Crazy Rich families and you’d be right for expecting that. So today that’s exactly our focus. We are going to be looking at the 15 richest families in Singapore.
