Anyway, the study tracked various high net-worth individuals (HNWIs) between 2000 and 2014 and gathered info on where they moved to and from, and found London was their primary destination. Sixty-one thousand HNWIs migrated from India in that time, with the majority going to the UK (and, by extension, London—I mean no disrespect, but if you're an international millionaire you're not going to move across the world to settle in Bracknell, are you?) Eight thousand South African millionaires emigrated in the same time period, again mainly to London. All in all, 125,000 millionaires moved to the UK in the first 14 post-millennial years, proving that a) it's easy to move here if you're rich and b) it's easy to buy property here, again if you are rich. Millionaires also moved to the US, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and the UAE, but mainly London, because of all the manners and tax breaks and those little bikes you can hire outside Tube stations.On NOISEY: This Vigilant Christian Has Served the Hottest Possible Take on Rihanna's "BBHMM"
