Dubai ranked first regionally and 20th globally among the wealthiest cities in the world, according to the latest classification issued by the CEO World website.
According to the report, Dubai includes 68,400 individuals, each of whom has a wealth of more than a million dollars, 206 millionaires, each of whom has a wealth of 100 million dollars or more, and 15 billionaires.
It is no secret that most millionaires and billionaires prefer to live in big cities rather than attractive cities.
