RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is projected to attract 2,400 high-net-worth individuals in 2025, marking a sharp increase from the 300 millionaires estimated to have relocated to the Kingdom in 2024.

This eightfold rise positions Saudi Arabia as the fastest climber in the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report 2025, published by Henley & Partners in collaboration with New World Wealth.

Across the Gulf, the UAE continues to lead globally, forecast to attract 9,800 millionaires this year, the highest net inflow worldwide, followed by the US with 7,500.

HNWIs are relocating to the Kingdom due to its ambitious Vision 2030 agenda, pro-business reforms, and growing investment opportunities. The surge in inbound wealth reflects the region’s growing appeal to both returning nationals and international investors, particularly in Riyadh and Jeddah.

Saudi Arabia has also introduced attractive residency programs, tax incentives, and a push to diversify the economy beyond oil.
