Hong Kong is a city full of millionaires and billionaires.

The city now has the highest concentration of super-rich people in the world, surpassing New York City, Tokyo, and Paris. One in seven residents is a millionaire, and the city is home to approximately 93 billionaires.

Hong Kong is also the most expensive city in the world for housing. The Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey has ranked Hong Kong the least affordable city for housing in the world for eight years in a row.

While many Hong Kong residents struggle to pay astronomical prices for "nano apartments" or "coffin homes," the city's ultra-rich residents live in multimillion dollar mansions in ritzy neighborhoods like Deep Water Bay or the Peak, drive Porsches, and eat at one of the city's 82 Michelin-starred restaurants.
