Seems like it’s a well known fact that being poor or even middle class (if that will even exist anymore) in the US disposes one to a very low quality of life (e.g., living in areas with higher crime rates, bad healthcare, the most obvious being cost of living, …etc)

On the flip side, what are some reasons why the top 1-5% percentile would also want to leave the US? (e.g., taxes/financial benefits, no longer aligning with the culture? I would assume mainly the former)

If you are in the top 1-5%, is living in the US still the best place to live? (as many people would like to suggest)

    The difference in net worth between the top 5% and the top 1% and the top .1% is not even close.

    If you are a multi billionaire, sure there’s probably no better place to live than the US.

    Top 5% is around $1M net worth, top 2% is only $2.5M.

    The quality of life you can give yourself in a different country when you only have a few million net worth is STAGGERING.

      Is your top 5% and top 2% worldwide or US? I just assumed theres a like a BUNCH of millionaires in China and Russia, and would be more than 5%.
