The super rich?

That would be NYC, Moscow, and Monaco. All three lead the world by many hundred miles at this.

The major cities often thought of as rich are london, los angeles, milan, NYC, Tokyo etc. However, the rich are concetreated in 1 area. I read somewhere on this forum that someone reasoned london to be a playground for the rich all because it had one of the world's richest neighbourhoods. NYC has some of the richest neighbourhoods in the country but go to the bronx and you will see lower to mid class people. London has its bad areas too. A real playground for the rich (city) would be a city where almost everyone is rich and often the city benfits the rich.

The cities that would fall under a playground for the rich would be Dubai (they build anything and everything there), Abu Dhabi, Doha, Bahrain, Kuwait City, Monaco, Luxembourg city, Singapore and Hong Kong. These cities have HUGE elite classes and are known for their extordinary building of skyscrapers and strict laws benefiting the rich mostly

A "shack" in Moscow's suburb - Rublevka (pretty extensive area):



The "poor" suburbs:



There are more money in the thing called Moscow than one can possibly count.

If I were mega-rich I could find many reasons to go to NYC, London, Paris etc. often.
But I wouldn't consider them playground cities.

Yeah, yeah, spare us the propaganda. Rich Muscovites have summer homes in Dubai. They go to Paris and Monaco on weekends for fun.

Come on, russiaonline, we know Moscow is teeming with billionaires, but it has a lot of poverty, just like EVERY major city on earth.

I could post this picture..

This is located in one of England's most deprived boroughs.. but not that's fair, is it? Just a mile or two from here are seriously poor people who live in the shadows of such developments.

The rich buy something, and travel somewhere... And what did you accuse me of?
