In the next tier, there are three other countries with 100+ billionaires: India (205), Germany (171), and Russia (141).

Perhaps surprisingly, Canada comes in sixth place with 76 billionaires. This puts the Great White North ahead of countries like Italy, Brazil, the UK, France, Switzerland, Singapore, or Australia.

Billionaire Migration​

With virtually unlimited resources at their disposal, the world’s ultra-wealthy can relocate with ease—often doing so to optimize for business, lifestyle, or legacy planning.

Amid rising geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and market volatility, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are increasingly reassessing their home bases. Some seek stable jurisdictions with favorable tax regimes, while others prioritize countries offering investor visas, asset protection, or stronger rule of law.

Tariffs and capital controls can also influence where the wealthy choose to live or operate. As global uncertainty grows, strategic migration could become a hedge—allowing billionaires to future-proof both their wealth and personal security.
