Dubai Set to Attract Billions in Global Wealth in 2025, According to New Betterhomes Report

International migration fuels demand for luxury properties, off plan Dubai developments, and apartments for sale in Dubai

Dubai, UAE – A new report from Betterhomes forecasts a major influx of global wealth into Dubai in 2025, positioning the city as a key destination for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and long-term property investment. Titled “Dubai: No Longer a Pit Stop, But the Finish Line for Global Wealth,” the report details how geopolitical shifts and economic uncertainty are driving millionaire migration to Dubai—and reshaping the emirate’s real estate landscape.

According to the report, 6,700 millionaires relocated to the UAE in 2024. With 142,000 projected to move globally in 2025, if just 5% choose Dubai, the emirate could see 7,100 new millionaires bringing an estimated USD 7.1 billion (AED 26 billion) in capital. That figure represents nearly half of Dubai’s total foreign direct investment in 2024.

“Dubai’s real estate market is no longer driven by speculation, but by strategic, long-term capital,” said Louis Harding, CEO of Betterhomes. “Global wealth is not just arriving—it’s anchoring here. In branded residences, legacy assets, and high-quality, off plan Dubai developments built for the future. Dubai is not only a magnet for capital; it’s becoming the global benchmark for residential investment.”

The report underscores that demand for apartments for sale in Dubai continues to rise, particularly among international buyers seeking security, tax efficiency, and world-class lifestyle benefits. With investors now viewing the city’s real estate as a core part of diversified portfolios, the shift from cyclical buying to structural ownership marks a new chapter for the sector.

Betterhomes also highlights the global ‘push’ factors behind this trend, including increasing wealth taxes, political instability, and stricter immigration laws. In contrast, Dubai offers a stable, investor-friendly environment with strong infrastructure, attractive residency options, and no personal income tax.

As the UAE solidifies its position as a safe haven for international wealth, Betterhomes expects continued momentum in the luxury and off-plan markets throughout 2025.
