Our list of the 11 most popular cities among the rich features some of the cities where the ultra-rich of the world today are flocking to. Be it the tycoons or the business honchos, these cities are among the most favorite ones of the elite clan for not only the class and lifestyle they offer, but also the opportunities they present. You may find that these cities are different from the ones on the list of The Top 10 Richest Cities in the World, which may strike as odd. However, these cities aren’t necessarily the richest, but they have become the most preferred cities for the super-rich because of numerous other criteria they fulfill.

Some of these cities, for instance, are the biggest centers for business and finance while some others, who aren’t quite up to the level of the veterans yet, are being considered as the emerging economies in the years to come. They are even being touted as strong competition to the old favorites that face the threat of being displaced from the list by them very soon. Shanghai, being one such ‘emerging economy’, is climbing the ladder of the hot favorites fast.

More and more heirs are being sent to the sought after locales to complete their education. But, it is also the quality of living that poses a crucial selection criterion.
