Dubai is the best place for the rich to enjoy luxury, success and wealth, said Mate Rimac, CEO, Bugatti Rimac.

In an exclusive interview with Khaleej Times, the French luxury carmaker said many of their ultra-high net worth individual (UNHWI) clients are not just investing in the emirate but also moving to the city with their families and cars.

“We see our UHNWI customers who are very internatio­nal and they have estates around the globe are moving their centre of living here. They are moving their families and cars here” said Rimac, adding that Dubai has the biggest concentrat­ion of Bugatti cars in the world.

“The USA is the largest single market for Bugatti but Dubai has the highest concentrat­ion of our cars. We have around 150 Bugattis in the UAE, mainly Dubai.”

In 2022 alone, 4,000 millionair­es moved to the UAE, making it the top destinatio­n for millionair­e migration globally, according to the Henley Global Citizens Report.

Top ranking

Dubai ranks in the top 20 cities globally with 68,400 millionair­es, 238 individual­s with over $100 million, and 15 billionair­es, according to the latest Henley Global Citizens Report.

“What is attracting people to Dubai is safety, comfortabl­e life, great education for kids, amazing real estate projects to choose from, nice restaurant­s and great shopping destinatio­ns. Everything is world-class here,” said Rimac during the launch of the Bugatti Residences by Binghatti, an ultra-luxury tower coming up in Business Bay.

“Dubai is a city where people can safely enjoy life, luxury, and wealth, unlike many other big cities,” he said. “In some cities, tomatoes can be thrown at luxury cars. Then you can’t leave expensive cars in Europe as they can be scratched. But people can really enjoy their success and wealth here. This is what I like about Dubai,” he said.

What is attracting people to Dubai is safety, comfortabl­e life, great education for kids, amazing real estate projects, nice restaurant­s and great shopping destinatio­ns.”
