Australia is the top destination for millionaires on the move.
澳大利亚是百万富翁移居的首选目的地。
An estimated 11,000 millionaires moved to Australia in 2016, according to a new report by wealth research firm New World Wealth. That compares to 8,000 millionaires who moved Down Under the previous year.
The US and UK have traditionally attracted the highest number of wealthy migrants. But the
allure of Australia has increased in recent years, especially for wealthy citizens of China and India.
New World Wealth said migrating millionaires are
drawn to the sunny Australian lifestyle, as well as the country's highly rated health care system, which is considered to be in better shape than those in the US and UK.
It's considered a safe place to live and raise children, and it's
geographically isolated from conflicts in the Middle East and the refugee crisis in Europe.
Business considerations also play a role: Australia is a good base for doing business in emerging Asian countries such as China, South Korea, Singapore and India, the researchers said.
The US is still considered a highly desirable destination, welcoming 10,000 foreign millionaires last year. New World Wealth expects demand to remain high.
Canada also saw of surge of 8,000 new millionaires coming to its shores. Rich Chinese citizens are moving to Vancouver while Europeans generally head to Toronto and Montreal.
