This is what it's all about.

Lake view, nature, silence, peace, real Lake Como vibes.

Italy, a long-time favorite of the rich and famous,

from Roman emperors to Hollywood stars.

You have the seaside, you have the mountains,

you have the Alps, the wine,

the food, I mean all of this.

But now, a new wave of the uber-wealthy is relocating to the European country,

looking to take advantage of its investor-friendly environment,

thriving real estate market and low-tax regime.

Italy is set to welcome an estimated 3,600 high-net-worth individuals to the country.

And this will have huge economic implications,

with estimates suggesting they could bring with them $21 billion in private capital.

Although this kind of data is notoriously difficult to track,

investment migration consultancy Henley & Partners estimates that in just three years,

Italy has climbed the global rankings as a top destination for the wealthy,

rising from number 11 in 2023 to 6 in 2024 and now third in 2025,

overtaking long-time favorites like Singapore, Australia and Switzerland.

The defining point of that is that there's a flat rate tax.

As many countries clamp down on the super-rich,

Italy has emerged as the top relocation destination in Europe.

And that's impacting everything from the business landscape to the housing market.

So why is Italy attracting so many millionaires and billionaires?

And could other countries follow its lead?

Italy's centre-left government back in 2017 introduced a new €100,000 flat tax regime to entice wealthy individuals,

investors and entrepreneurs to move to the country.

Now, this was in something of a heyday of citizenship by investment schemes with the likes of Portugal

and Switzerland also looking for new ways to attract the ultra-wealthy.

In 2024, the government doubled its flat tax to 200,000 euros for new arrivals after public criticism over the scheme,

with economy minister Giancarlo Giorgetti saying he didn't want Italy to be in a race to offer fiscal favours to the rich.

Despite this, the country remains a magnet for those who would be taxed far more heavily elsewhere.

They operate at a wealth level which is still way above 200,000 per year flat taxation.

So it's like saying, oh,

you're paying your coffee now.

Today is two euros.

Tomorrow is going to be four euros.

You're not going to give up on your coffee.

The doubling of the flat tax did little to suppress demand,

but it did double government coffers.

The people that are coming to us are telling us

that the main driving force behind the relocation is inevitably to the next.

Millionaires have been migrating in droves to new residences.

Over the past 10 years,

the number of high net worth individuals relocating abroad has almost tripled,

reaching record highs in 2024.

And the trend is set to continue in 2025 and 2026.

Many other countries have been clamping down on the uber wealthy in an attempt to combat perceived inequality

and also boost stretched public budgets.

So for instance, in France,

they have been deliberating expanding the wealth tax.

In Switzerland, for example, they're also weighing introducing new changes to inheritance tax.

But perhaps the biggest change came in April 2025 under the UK's Labour government when they abolished their 200-year-old non-dom tax regime.

Until recently,

a UK resident with a permanent tax home abroad only had to pay UK tax on money earned in the country,

meaning money made elsewhere in the world was untaxed by the British government for up to 15 years.

That's now been replaced by a new residency scheme,

which the government says will generate £12.7 billion over the next five years.

Critics have questioned that and they have said

that these outflows of wealth are going to impact the UK's economy and also suppress that all-important investment and high spending.

There are countries literally around the world who are coming to us and saying we want the UK's millionaires and billionaires.

What can we do?

How can we bring them to our country?

More countries are now offering citizenship and residence by investment programmes.

Between 1980 and 2022, the number of CBI and RBI schemes has seen a fourfold increase,

led by Caribbean countries like Grenada and Antigua,

as well as Malta and Turkey.

Residence by investment is essentially a legal process by which countries will grant residents to foreign individuals in exchange for financial contributions.

So that might be tax payments,

it might be real estate purchases or other investments.

The programs that we offer range from a few thousand up to eight, nine million dollars.

We've dealt with Americans, we've dealt with Brits,

we've dealt with Middle Easterns.

The last statistic we saw that we had inquiries from 148 nationalities.

Italy introduced its flat tax system as part of a bigger push to attract foreign investors.

It was also hoping to encourage homegrown talent and their money to return to the country,

especially after the economic challenges of the European debt crisis.

So Italy's flat tax regime will exempt individuals from their foreign income

and gains and overseas and they'll only be subject to pay Italian tax on locally earned income.

Now part of the beauty of Italy's regime is its simplicity.

Unlike in other countries where they're expected to meet other stringent requirements,

other investment requirements, this is just a one-off annual fee.

You just need to move your tax domicile to Italy,

which is easy enough for EU residents.

Anna Cipriani was among those incentivized to return to Italy.

My great-grandfather Giuseppe Cipriani opened the doors of Harry's Bar

which also became the famous place because it's where he created also the Bellini cocktail and the carpaccio dish.

Harry's Bar was originally founded in Venice in 1931

but over nearly a century the business expanded into a global hotel

and leisure group with a larger footprint outside italy than within

it anna cipriani had been living in the u.s to oversee

the launch of its casa cipriani members club in new york

but in 2022 the group chose to return to italy for its next destination creating a hub for business people

and entrepreneurs in milan we wanted to build a place where a person could spend their full day

so we have the entertainment spaces the restaurants the spy wellness facilities,

the gym for the workout.

We really thought it was a good time to come back to Italy.

Milan did evolve a lot over the years.

Before, it used to be known more for its industrial character and of course the fashion houses.

While over the last few years,

100

it became more and more attractive also for creatives,

101

for investors and for international crowd.

102

And then of course, we had the tax incentives.

103

Since 2016, Italy has adopted investment-friendly policies through its Industria 4.0 plan,

104

later renamed Transition 5.0, a framework designed to encourage businesses to invest in key sectors like digital

105

and green infrastructure in exchange for tax credits and depreciation incentives.

106

They are moving to town but they're also investing not only in Milan,

107

I mean in Italy in general.

108

So what are the most popular destinations for the wealthy in Italy?

109

Sought-after regions include Tuscany and the Italian Riviera.

110

Cities like Rome, Venice, Florence and Bologna are also popular.

111

And unsurprisingly, Milan remains a favorite amongst millionaires

112

and billionaires due to its role as Italy's financial hub and close links to Lake Como.

113

Most of the celebrity of Lake Como started back in the early 2000s when Las Vegas opened up the Bellagio Hotel.

114

It's being inspired by this tiny village.

115

We are at a whole-time high prices at at the moment.

116

In five years, we had an increase in double digit percentage,

117

while for the upcoming years,

118

we're probably going to look at a steady 3 to 4% type of increase here in Lake Como.

119

And less than an hour away,

120

Milan's real estate is experiencing its own surge.

121

Property prices in Milan have risen 49% since the flat tax was introduced in 2017,

122

compared to 10.9% across the rest of Italy's big cities,

123

according to real estate group of Techno Casa

124

and global property consultancy Knight Frank expects the city's prime real estate market to record a further 3.5% price growth in 2025.

125

It's about those who can afford,

126

even because prices are not necessarily done to a strict market logic as an investment.

127

They like a property with their guts,

128

then they do a little bit of math,

129

of course, but they're ready to spend and sometimes to overspend just to secure a one-of-a-kind view or a one-of-a-kind position.

130

When Italy came out with a 100,000 flat tax opportunity,

131

people began considering even more Italy as a logic B plan for their relocation or asset protection or tax optimization process.

132

So how is this wealth impacting local life?

133

While luxury lifestyles can sometimes seem removed from the everyday,

134

Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice,

135

for example, is estimated to have added $1.1 billion to the city's economy.

136

The increased activity in finance,

137

private equity, hospitality, and other services have of course created local jobs.

138

But then there's been the impact on housing prices,

139

which has priced out many locals,

140

particularly as wages have struggled to keep up.

141

That of course adds to existing wealth inequalities,

142

and there's a particular concern that much of the wealth is concentrated in specific areas

143

and it doesn't filter down around the rest of the country.

144

It's kind of a wheel that keeps rolling.

145

So you have all these people moving in

146

and you have all these hotel opening and you have more

147

and more people that then decide to come to town because now they think about it more.

148

So it's so proven that when you have a lot of investments into a city,

149

it does boost.

150

The economy creates more job opportunities also for the people.

151

We are seeing other countries considering similar schemes.

152

Greece back in 2019 introduced its own €100,000 flat tax regime,

153

but it also requires an additional €500,000 investment as well in property or local equities,

154

etc. Even in the UK,

155

lobbyists are also pushing for a similar Italian-style flat tax regime,

156

but it does, of course,

157

raise concerns about this kind of race to the bottom and an erosion of the tax base.

158

However, it's important to note

159

that rich people moving to Italy under this regime are under no obligation to invest in the country,

160

a move that the Italian court of auditors has warned could turn Italy into a tax haven.

161

Receipts from Italy's flat tax regime have brought in hundreds of millions of euros,

162

but while helpful, this really is just a drop in the ocean versus Italy's deficit and public debt.

163

For as long as it does stay more attractive than some other countries' regimes,

164

Italy does look like it will continue to attract a small but lucrative cohort of the wealthy.

165
