  • The UK is projected to lose a record 16,500 Millionaires in the next 12 months, contributing to an estimated 142,000 global millionaire relocations this year.
  • This significant outflow is primarily driven by a decade of poor economic performance and recent tax reforms, including the abolition of non-dom status and new taxes on wealthy foreign residents.
  • The UK's millionaire exodus is double that of China and ten times that of Russia, marking the first time a European country leads global millionaire outflows in a decade.
  • Wealthy individuals are seeking more favourable tax regimes, greater opportunity, and stability in destinations such as the UAE, Monaco, Malta, Switzerland, and Italy.
