Your odds of befriending Dubai millionaires

And Abu Dhabi’s wealthiest, too

Dream of bumping into a millionaire, becoming best bros and living it large in the Middle East?

Yearn to see how the other half lives and long for days of no alarm clocks and jet setting around the globe?

Want more stamps in your passport than on the floor at a Queen tribute gig?

Well, Dubai is your best bet to make that happen according to an annual wealth report that ranks the city as the leading destination for multi-millionaires in the region.

We’re talking dough above and beyond $10 million (Dhs36.7m) – that’s a fair few slices of pizza you know.

According to data curated by NW Wealth, Dubai is the city of choice for some 2,430 multi-millionaires.

Abu Dhabi ranked fourth in the standings with 870 multi-millionaires currently calling the UAE capital home.

Sharjah also crept on to the list, with a total of 80 seriously loaded residents the lovely people at Time Out wouldn’t mind befriending.

Dubai millionaire’s pockets not deep enough for your taste? The city is also home to 10 billionaires who no doubt have more than enough spare change to make all your dreams a reality.

First thing we’d ask for? A flying DeLorean with built in milkshake dispenser.
