Two Portuguese regions are among the ultra-rich's favourite holiday spots. This is the so-called Golden Triangle, the area of the Algarve where most of the country's highest-priced properties are located (Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura), and Lisbon, which is part of a restricted ranking of 17 destinations. They are in 9th and 13th place respectively.
According to Visual Capitalist, which uses data from British consultancy Henley & Partners, there are currently more than 25.000 centimillionaires worldwide - ultra-rich people who, by definition, have more than 100 million dollars (95 million euros) in investable assets- and they prefer to spend their holidays in Miami (USA). Completing the podium are The Hamptons and West Palm Beach, also in the USA.
It's worth noting that there are only seven European destinations among the 17 analysed: along with the two Portuguese regions are Paris, Nice, Cannes and Antibes (France) and Lugano (Switzerland).
