World’s wealthiest find safe haven in Singapore real estate

Find out where the rich are buying secondary homes.

Ultra-high net worth individuals who choose to buy property outside their primary country of business are increasingly choosing to set up second homes in Singapore. Singapore clinched the seventh spot in a list of ten countries where ultra-high net worth individuals choose to buy their second homes.

According to Wealth-X and UBS, 3% of UNHWs have second homes in Singapore, at par with China and Hong Kong. Singapore and Hong Kong have an edge because of their proximity to Mainland China.

The top spot was clinched by the United States, which was selected by 24% of UNHWs. The United Kingdom, Switzerland, and France occupied the next three spots. The list’s rear was brought up by Monaco, Australia, and India.

“These countries are considered safe havens for the world’s wealthiest. Nonetheless, the importance of some of the world’s key markets outside of these regions – such as China, Hong Kong, Singapore and India – shows that the shift of wealth creation towards Asia is not only on its way, but is also attracting more foreigners, who hope to benefit from the strong growth potential the region continues to offer,” noted the report.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
