Many rich people leave some G7 countries like UK, France, Germany because of higher taxes and uncertain politics.

They send money or move to Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong for stability and lower tax.

Reports from Henley & Partners and Knight Frank show record millionaire migration in 2025-2026.

US creates a lot of new wealth but also rich Americans buy second citizenships as “plan B” for safety.

They treat countries like investment portfolio.

Not full “fleeing” from all G7. North America still has most ultra rich people.

No massive scramble for exit visas. It is more about smart money moves.
