Millionaires

It is a notice for the rest of the millionaires who supported him

by

A little over eight months ago, Elon Musk self -demonstrated “Donald Trump’s first friend” after his re -election as US president. He Cross anxyper That both Musk and Trump dedicated themselves in public leaves no doubt that he has now become “the first former friend.” However, the important thing is not so much what both millionaires said openly, but the evening warning that Trump made to the rest of Millionaires who have supported him From his investiture: “Or with me or against me.” Musk’s “One More Thing”. After weeks of rumorslast week Donald Trump and Elon Musk made official the departure of the South African millionaire at the head of the Doge with A ceremony in the Oval Office in which Musk’s work was praised in the first hundred days of mandate. Then, and in the purest style of Steve Jobs, Musk raised his “One More Thing” before closing that stage and lasted hard against the new tax cut law (known as “One Big Beautiful Bill”) qualifying itof “disgusting abomination.” The fuse had lit and it was a matter of time that everything jump through the air. The World Cup was mounted. Following Musk’s criticism escalation to the fiscal megaley, among its measures contemplated the Subsidy cut For the electric car, Trump began Your offensive against Musk. Musk’s response came from his social network attributing the Merit of Electoral Victory Trump and threatening with dismantle the dragon capsule that NASA has been using astronauts to the space station. However, the high point came when Tesla’s CEO accused the president of appearing on the list of Jeffrey Epstein. Musk even asked his followers If you should found a new party to oppose Trump’s measures. The evening warning. Elon Musk was the Trump’s main validboth during his presidential campaign and in minor elections, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars that distributed To win the electorateand favor Trump’s political interests. However, that has not been an obstacle for Trump to defnert without flinching to such a powerful ally. ¿What would I be able to do With other millionaires who have not had a relationship as narrow as the one he has had with Musk? Jeff Bezos has already received the message. A few weeks ago a working document was leaked in which Amazon employees considered the possibility of breaking down the price increase of tariffs imposed by Trump in their products. From the White House they did not hesitate to get the artillery against Bezos. Karoline Leavitt, Trump government spokesman, accused To the company of “A hostile and political act by Amazon”, and lashed out at Jeff Bezos accusing him of being “the arm of the Chinese propaganda” while showing a photo of the millionaire leading an article in which he was accused of censoring the reviews of a book with the speeches of the Chinese president Xi Jinping. A call from Donald Trump to Bezos would be enough for the millionaire to recular and the company recovered the value of actions that They had collapsed before presidential threats. Apple managed a tense calm. Tim Cook was another of the millionaires who witnessed Trump’s possession in the front line. Months later, Apple felt the pressure of Trump’s economic policies. The president would apply A 25% tariff To technological ones who do not manufacture in the US. To appease Trump’s fury, Apple He promised to invest 500,000 million dollars in the United States over the next four years in return, since it was materially impossible to relocate the production of its short -term smartphones. With this, both parties sealed a tense calm without major consequences … at least temporarily. Mark Zuckerberg is not in prison. With regard to Mark Zuckerberg, the millionaire has not yet entered prison, which is already a lot since Donald Trump spent part of his campaign threatening with imprisonment “For life” to the meta founder. In return, the millionaire has not only provided financial support to Trump’s investiture, but has been one of the first to fly a flying Its labor policies of diversity, equality and inclusion in goal, but also aligned the functioning of its social network to Trump’s wishes. What the meta founder has not been able to get rid of the debate about whether Goal is a monopoly. Emalisting with Trump could make that delicate scale get against him and end up dismembering the goal.

In addition to manufacturing handmade chairs, Hermès has earned her prestige of luxury craftsman for her popular (and profitable) Birkin bags. However, the exclusive Maison He has taken an unexpected step. He has tired of making covers For airpods And now it seeks to compete in the high -end technology market launching its first high -end headphones worthy of the cache of your bags. For his first foray into the technological sector, Hermès does not consider competing with The biggest As for technical benefits, but in something that the French brand dominates perfectly: its price. And not precisely because it is the most economical. Making covers for Airpods was not enough Until now, Hermès had collaborated with technological brands such as Apple, just creating leather covers For airpods and other accessories for their devices. However, the firm has decided to go a little further and manufacture its own luxury headphones, in which each unit is handed by its most experienced artisans. According to The published by Luxurylaunchesthe design and development process has been two years and each headset is the result of a thorough work, from the selection of skins to the final assembly. In fact, exclusivity is such that A few units will be producedand each of them is made on request. Touch the image to go to the original message “The idea is not to be able to replicate this 10,000 times as a great headphones manufacturer would. The idea is that the few we do are perfectly done, and that has been a very long learning process,” explains Axel de Beaufort, creative director of Ateliers Horizons. This Hermès artisan workshop based in France, has been responsible for manufacturing for the firm’s clients such unusual pieces such as canoes, disco balls and surf boards, but now faces the challenge of combining artisanal excellence with the technological requirements expected of some high -end headphonessuch as the incorporation of tactile functions to control them or Noise cancellation. The headphones are made of hand -sewn cow hunter skin, metal details inspired by their emblematic Kelly bag, as well as pads and headband coated with lamb skin. In Spain, for the moment They are only available In the color Rouge H. the 11,800 euros that cost It positions them as the most expensive in the market, even surpassing other accessories as extravagant of the brand as the fishing cane of 10,000 dollars or the Mahjong set of $ 43,000. Luxury, but high -end headphones after all Although Hermès has kept a secret many of the technical specifications, it is known that these headphones They can connect Both Bluetooth and Jack cable.

This literary science fiction utopia advocates the disappearance of millionaires. And Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg love

by

The saga of ‘the culture’ of Iain M. Banks is one of the series of Science fiction books most important and influential of the history of gender. And among his fans are names as notorious of the Tech sector as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg either Jeff Bezos. What is still curious: the message and background of the saga are in one direction, it could be said, diametrically opposite to the businesses led by these billionaires. So … why do you like so much? The culture of ‘culture’. The saga consists of no less than ten books, the first of them written in 1987 and the last in 2012. In them there is a society in which the pan-human (similar to us in appearance, but without being completely clear what relationship they keep with humanity) coexist with artificial intelligences, having overcome any problem of scarcity of the past. All citizens can careless work: technology takes care of everything. Until death is a problem of the past: diseases have been left behind, and minds can move from one body to another when bodies do not give more. Below the work. ‘Culture ‘is one of the most clearly positioned science fiction works in political terms, already a difference from conservative thought classics such as’ the rebel rebellion’ of Ayn Rand Or allegations of white supremacism not very camouflaged such as ‘The landing’ or ‘Turner’s newspapers’, leans towards the socialist utopia, more in the line of other classications such as ‘Iron heel’ by Jack London. In the Society of ‘Culture’ goals are reached Socialist theory: Post-scarce society, abolition of money and private property, radical equality, voluntary work, collective management, absence of coercive laws, personal freedom … an authentic utopia. Stones to the roof itself. And since there are no inequalities for economic reasons, the same concept of oligarchs is aberrant. Banks hated the idea that a lot of money will concentrate on a few hands. As he exposed This article in Voxthe solution to antisocial behavior in ‘culture’ is not the legal punishment, but to make the offender a social out of theory, cancellation. Something against what they have manifested openly These billionaires. And well, then there is the subject of the genre completely fluid in this utopian society: the rigid genres are completely overcome. And we already know how little they like Musk, Bezos either Zuckerberg LGTBI ideas. What do you see? It is clear What do they like about ‘the culture’ then: The fascinating vision of technology as a solution to all problems. From facilitating the most daily tasks to overcome in space battles, everything is mediated by artificial technology and intelligences. Of course, for Banks technology is not an end in itself, but a tool in search of a more just and equitable society. And without millionaires. But it is easy for these oligarchs of technology to skip that part, because the comfortable is to get carried away by the sissured show that also proposes ‘culture’ (which are adventure novels, not thesis). Of course, it should be noted that there are voices, such as The journalist Max Readwho affirm that perhaps Musk, Bezos or Zuckerberg have not completely misunderstood ‘culture’. Especially if we compare it with the findings of the other utopia par excellence of science fiction, ‘the dispossessed’ of Ursula K. Leguinis of dyes closest to anarchism. Possessing utopias. As technology is more complex, the bridges of understanding between science fiction and innovation are more constant. Science fiction has helped us to imagine the future and carry it out, and therefore the technological elites of Silicon Valley have reinterpreted utopias as inspiration, and even sometimes as Brandingas Musk did Putting Space X ship namesinspiring Neuralink’s own concept and defining itself as an “utopian anarchist of those described by Iain M. Banks.” He is not the only one who appropriates the saga: Bezos will adapt the first book of ‘La Cultura’ In Prime Video. And Zuckerberg promoted the saga in your reading club In 2015. However, this possession of the ideas of Banks or other utopias as a generator of imaginary and technological concepts has very obvious inconveniences when it goes from socialist utopia to business narrative. The critical sense of literary works is diluted and enters a paradox: that of the technocratic utopia. Banks is not here to meet her, but something tells us that he would have produced chills.

Latin millionaires set their residence in Madrid. Private bench has begun to open branches only for them

by

All cities of a certain size have certain neighborhoods in which the Density of wealthy people exceeds the average. In the case of Madrid that neighborhood has traditionally been the Salamanca neighborhood, and the type of housing that, by surface and qualities, in it, in it, is witnessing it, in it It has been built. That real estate valuehe has turned the central Madrid neighborhood into the new destination for the Latin American millionairesto those who do not tremble their pulse for Pay up to 13,000 the square meter for a second residence on this side of the Atlantic. Before the rise of these new neighbors in the neighborhood, the response of the bank has not been waiting. BBVA has announced The opening of a new exclusive office on Goya Street in Madrid only for Latin Millionaires. The requirements for you to meet: a minimum capital of 500,000 euros and economic interests on both sides of the ocean. The Spain of the two benches While in the rest of Spain the banks close physical branches (only in 2024, the Santander announced the closure of 200 offices) and mails must take care of giving coverage of Effective to Spain emptiedin the Wealthy neighborhoods in Madrid The trend is just the opposite. Financial entities have identified the potential of this capital flow and have opted to open specialized offices, such as the new BBVA private bank branch in the heart of the Salamanca neighborhood. Where if not. This office, the first of its kind in Spain, is designed exclusively to serve Latin American clients with high assets. As I pointed out The Economic newspaper Fifodiesthe branch manages a base of 583 clients, whose joint assets amounts to 440 million euros. The objective of this new “luxury” branch is to offer a personalized service to those who have investments and assets On both sides of the Atlanticfacilitating the management of its wealth in a global and coordinated way by focusing on both European and Latin Americans. To access this private banking service, customers must have a minimum financial assets of 500,000 euros. In addition, there are differentiated services for those who have between 500,000 and two million euros, and for ultra -ups with more than 10 million. At the global level, the BBVA Private Banking Division manages assets valued at about 140,000 million euros. The best bankers: yes, those of Madrid At the Goya BBVA Private Banking Office, he serves a team of five bankers specialized in managing assets in Mexico, Colombia or Peru markets. Each of these bankers makes periodic trips to their assigned country to maintain direct contact with customers and understand their specific needs. That is to say, They are the ones who queue To talk to your customers. Karma. According to statements by Fernando Ruiz, director of private banking of the entity in Spain, published in InvertiaThe average international client profile that is attended from this branch has an average heritage of 800,000 euros. By nationalities, 50% are Colombians; 30% Mexicans and the remaining 20% ​​are Peruvians. Beyond traditional financial management, BBVA offers a range of extrafinancial services specifically designed for this high purchasing power client profile. Do not think about the latest generation televisions, televisions or mobiles. As confirmed by the bankers themselves Fifodieswe talk about exclusive experiences, such as entries for Real Madrid parties or the mutual Open Madrid, private visits to museums such as Prado and Thyssen, and training courses on the transmission of family heritage. Although this personalized attention model is anecdotal in Spain, it already works successfully in enclaves with High concentration of millionaire populationlike Zurich and Miami. If the Salamanca neighborhood office works, perhaps this model could extend to Other areas of Spain who also host great Latin American fortunes, such as Galicia, Barcelona or the Costa del Sol.

However, while some have worked their own way to get it, “Great wealth transfer“It is causing many others to get it simply for being born In the right family. According to The list of Milmillonarios that every year does Forbesthere are only 21 millionaires under 30 in 2025 with a heritage of more than 1 billion dollars. Of these, only two have entered the list this year for having founded their own company. Millionaires “Old School” The Forbes 2025 list of The youngest milmonaries reveals how fortune can get so much by inheritancefruit of empires raised by their parents or grandparents, as for the cunning of betting on booming sectors such as artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies. According to the 2025 edition data published by Forbes, most of the world’s millmillonaries They are between 50 and 79 years old. Only 12% of millionaires with more than 1,000 million heritage are under 50 years old and only 21 of them are under 30 years old. According to data of the United Nations, approximately Half of the world’s population is under 30 years old. However, only 0.00000027% of them are Milmillonarios. This contrast underlines how extraordinary it is to reach such a level of wealth at such an early age. In most cases, these fortunes come from large family inheritancesas is the case of the heirs of the Mars family, famous for their chocolate bars: or the Walton, heirs of the empire of the Walmart supermarkets. The era of the great heirs In the 2000 and 2010 decades, the list of young Milmillonarios was dominated by Pujantes Technological entrepreneurs Like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Larry Page and Sergey Brin who revolutionized the world with the innovations that created their companies. These names became synonymous with innovation and business success forged from scratch. However, in 2024 he already began observe the change in trend And it remains in 2025: most of the new millmillonarios under 30 years They have inherited their fortune, instead of creating it for themselves. Thus, while before the “prodigy children” of technology lowered the average age of this Select Millionaire Clubnow the historical surnames and the Centenary companies occupy a central place among the richest of less than 30 years. Among these new Millionaires is Johannes Von Baumbach, only 19, who has inherited with his three brothers of 23, 25 and 27, a fortune estimated at 5.4 billion dollars each, thanks to his participation in the pharmacist Boehringer Ingelheim who founded his great -grandfather. It also emphasizes that, 15 of the 21 new milmonaries on the list, comes from Europe, being Germany the country with more representatives. To the four heirs of the Pharmaceutical Empire From Boehringer Ingelheim, Sophie Luise Fielmann, 30, which opens in the ranking with a fortune of 2.8 billion dollars, heiress of the German optic chain Fielmann. From Germany Kevin David Lehmann also arrives, with a heritage of 3.8 billion dollars and only 22 years, who received 50% of the DM-Drogerie Markt drug stores; and Maxim Tebar, 24 years old, holding a part of the German STIHL chainsaw company that brings a fortune valued at 1.2 billion dollars. Some of the rich heirs who became part of this list have increased their fortune for 2024. An example is found in the three brothers of the neighborhood, heirs of the ESSILORLUXOTTIC GASK EMPIREthat thanks to its new alliances with technology They have seen their fortune grow 40% this year until reaching 6,600 million dollars. Some have had to fight Although most of the Young Milmillonarios de 2025 They owe their fortune to inheritance, there are notable exceptions. The Australian Ed Craven 29 years old, Cofundó Stake.com, the Major Casino Online Based on cryptocurrencies, which generated 4.7 billion dollars last year. Its success shows that, even being young, it is possible to make their way to success by own means in such agitated as is that of cryptocurrencies and content streaming. Another case of professional success is that of Alexandr Wang28 years old, who Scale AI co -foundeda company dedicated to data annotation for artificial intelligence. Wang’s case is somewhat peculiar because he had already entered the Forbes list in 2021 with A heritage above 1,000 million Of dollars, but the fluctuations of the economy raised him in 2022. However, a recent financing round valued at $ 13.8 billion has returned to the list with a equity of 3.6 billion dollars.

Silicon Valley millionaires want to lift their own Neom. They have an ace in the sleeve to convince Greenland

by

In the list of projects that sought to create self -sufficient enclaves outside the State there are several examples. We have the Failed project north of San Francisco, Prosperous in Honduras or the Seasoning attempts In international waters. Also hyperbolic projects on the way, Like Neomall ideas that have shared a common vision: experiment with radical economic models and alternative governance, backed by millionaire capital and an almost ideological faith in without restrictions, although few have passed the prototype. Greenland looks like the next stop. Silicon Valley and “freedom.” We tell it A few months ago: the Trump administration has reactivated its ambition to acquire Greenland, but not only as a goal strategic and geopoliticalbut also as a scenario for an initiative promoted by technological billionaires. We talk about the creation of a high -tech libertarian city, known as “Freedom City”. Inspired by ideals of extreme and free market deregulation, this vision contemplates a self -sufficient enclave dedicated to the development of artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, space releases, nuclear microreactors and high -speed trains. According to Reuters revealedthe plan has already been discussed in private among investors such as Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen and Shervin Pishevar, all with a history of similar projects, and has the explicit interest of Ken Howery, former ambassador to Denmark and key figure in negotiations for the possible annexation or purchase of the island. Howery, close to Trump and Elon Musk, has expressed Enthusiasm for potential Of cultural and geographical synergies between Taiwan, the United States and Japan, and although he refused to comment on the plans, several medium sources say that their role would be crucial to advance the idea. All roads lead to Greenland. The choice of the island is not accidental. Three times bigger than Texas but with Just 57,000 inhabitantsthe island has vast strategic mineral reserves, including rare earths, and houses an American military base that gives it a huge geopolitical value in the Arctic. Trump has publicly insisted that “We must have Greenland” and has not ruled out take it by force If Denmark refuses to sell it. In fact, his vice president, JD Vance, recently visited the military base with his wife, which It generated protests of the local population and harsh criticism of the new Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who considered the visit as a disrespect to the sovereignty of the island. During the same, Vance accused Denmark of not properly protecting the territory of alleged Russian and Chinese incursions, although he did not contribute concrete details. Meanwhile, the Danish government declined to comment on the rumors of a technological city funded by American private capital. A new doctrine. The proposal to build a libertarian citizen in Greenland reflects a broader ideological movement among businessmen from Silicon Valley, which for years promotes the called “Startup Cities” or “Charter Cities”: urban enclaves with minimal state intervention, designed to promote innovation and self -sufficiency. We already count The Prospera caseand now, inspired by the philosophy of “manifest destination”From the nineteenth century, its defenders see in Greenland the opportunity to open a new border for the American Expansion and Domain experiment, this time in technological key. SHERVIN PISHAR He described the initiative as “the dawn of a new manifest destination”, while Dryden Brown, co -founder of the Praxis projectargues that Greenland is the ideal place to build a prototype city that serves as a general essay for future human colonies on Mars, in line with Elon Musk’s interplanetary dreams. Brown even traveled to Greenland and has assured that other companies have raised him collaborate at the Foundation of that city. In an X publication, wrote: “We must build a prototype of Terminus on Earth before leaving towards Mars. Greenland is that place.” Investors and power networks. The impulse behind this ambitious proposal comes from a consolidated group of technological investors, many of them linked to each other through previous projects. Thiel, Andreessen and Pishevar have invested in Pronomos capitala firm dedicated to financing experimental cities in countries willing to offer special regulatory conditions. One of his main advisors, Patri Friedman (grandson of economist Milton Friedman) has confirmed that several of their projects are in the negotiation phase with governments and that one, Prosperousalready operates in Honduras under a similar model (although with rather terrible results). In addition, Praxis, backed by figures such as Joe Lonsdale and Sam Altman’s background, has raised More than 500 million of dollars to develop a new city, and could channel part of that capital towards Greenland. While Thiel denied being involved in specific plans for the Island and Musk has not commented on this, the connections between these actors and their historical interest in technological secession projects reinforce the credibility of the initiative. What they offer to the locals. Unlike the Trump rhetoricthese billionaire investors have an ace in the sleeve to convince the people of the island, one where the exploitation would make the enclave A unique space. During a hearing before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, experts argued that the Costa de Greenland houses one of the highest critical mineral concentrations in the world, many of them previously inaccessible because it is under thick layers of ice, but that they could become exploitable due to the melting caused by climate change and the development of new mining techniques. There is more, of course. For project drivers, Greenland is not only a geopolitical opportunity, but also an ideal platform to experiment with advanced technologies and urban models of the future. Technological investors that promote the creation of a Freedom City offer the local population an accelerated economic development vision, based on the Job promisewealth and technological opportunities in an environment of minimal regulation. They also raise the territory into a Global Innovation Center With high -value industries such as AI, clean nuclear energy, advanced transport and space exploration, which would imply massive massive investment and modern infrastructure. In addition, some actors close to the Trump administration have suggested to replace … Read more

However, among those who do recognize them, the perception is very divided. For example, Larry Ellison has only 13% of favorable opinions, while Steve Ballmer has a modest 16%.

Luxury floors are so expensive in Madrid that Millionaires already look at more “affordable” areas such as … the moral or farm

by

Throughout a whole year a half -won (or won at least in 2022, last data of the INE) a salary of around 27,000 euros. It is a considerable sum. But soon it will not even pay an M2 in the Madrid residential luxury market. This is estimated by the consultant Colliers, who in A report Published this same week on the most exclusive properties of the capital, letting a striking idea: prices of the city real estate They are warming up In all segments, also the Prime. In fact, this price increase in the central almond of Madrid is forcing which part of the demand It moves to other parts of the city, such as the moral or farm. Probing luxury. In Your reportColliers is dedicated to putting the thermometer to the most exclusive segment of the Madrid real estate market, which is associated with labels such as Ultra High-end, High-end, premium either Branded reside. Basically these are homes that cost at least two million euros (much passes from the five) and in certain cases they are associated with a hotel brand that offers services, which gives them a plus of exclusivity. It may seem a very limited segment, but Colliers reveals that it has some weight in the most exclusive neighborhoods of the capital. In the report its technicians claim to have identified in the Barrio de Salamanca, Chamberí, El Viso and Centro 153 homes For sale that two requirements meet: they are new construction and go from two million euros. There are more 52 that belong to the most exclusive group, the Ultra high-endwith a price per m2 that reaches 27,400 euros. A figure: € 1,550. One of the first conclusions that the report leaves is that the residential luxury market has not remained oblivious to generalized increase of the house in Madrid. The other way around. Colliers estimates that throughout the last decade the price of M2 in the market High-end The capital has grown at a rate of € 1,550/year, which the consultant interprets as “constant and sustained growth.” In practice that means that the M2 in the most exclusive properties and floors is today much more expensive than in 2005. And you don’t have to look so far back. Surprises. When analyzing the luxury housing stock for sale in Madrid, the consultant has encountered two surprises: first, the number of promotions and homes has increased considerably with respect to 2023; Second, the maximum prices are today quite higher than those that were handled just two years ago. If in 2023 the maximum was in € 24,800/m2now it goes from 27,400. On the contrary, the minimum values ​​have softened around 12%. 27,400 for an M2. What is the result of this “constant and sustained” price increase? That right now the residential square meter in the most exclusive homes for sale in neighborhoods such as Salamanca, Chamberí or Viso Ronda, on average, 18,300, with some cases in which this value has shot above € 27,400/m2. This is just that, means that can vary depending on the characteristics of the property or the concrete area of ​​Madrid in which they are located, but still interesting. In the Salamanca neighborhood for example Colliers analyzed 112 properties in which the average square meter cost ranged between 12,000 and 18,600 euros, which translates into homes that cost by total between 2.75 and 8.6 million. In Chamberí the photo already changes and the consultant did not register properties in which the € 17,800/m2 was exceeded. Spraying records. They may seem high prices, but if Colliers technicians give in the nail it is likely that in a few years they will not seem so. Especially if we take into account that the market has maintained a trend over the last years that seems to direct it towards new record values. “If this evolution is maintained, we estimate that by 2030 the average price in the areas Prime of the luxury residential market could exceed the barrier of € 30,000/m2, which would represent a key milestone for this segment, “he collects The report. “Now we are seeing projects that will probably come out at the end of the year around 25,000 euros per m2,” Luis Valdés recognizesmanaging director of the Colliers luxury housing area to the newspaper Five dayswhich remembers that there is probably some property associated with Branded reside Restored for more than € 30,000/m2. If the consultant’s forecast is finally met in a matter of only a five years, it will no longer be the exception, but “the average price in the primary areas of the residential market High-end“ What is the reason? The study is not limited to talking about prices and draws medium -term forecasts. Part of its analysis is also dedicated to probe the market, which otherwise goes online with the whole of the Madrid real estate sector. In general, idealist calculates that the residential M2 in the capital He has shot In the last decade: € 2,700/m2 in February 2015 to the more than 5,200 charged now. In the specific market case Prime However, certain trends with a key weight. Foreigners. In Your report Colliers dedicates special attention to foreign capital, highlighting the capacity of Madrid “to attract investment, tourism and wealth.” “It has climbed positions until consolidating as the second most attractive European city for real estate investment, only surpassed by London,” The analysis stands out. “This fact shows the strength of the Madrid real estate market, driven by both international and individual investors looking for higher levels of profitability.” Among other factors, the consultant recalls the opening of new five -star hotelsthe rise of business schools, security and a climate that can be attractive to investors from other latitudes. According to the data handled by Colliers, in 2024 about half of the homes acquired in the community were concentrated in the capital and 7% corresponds to foreign investors, especially of Latam and the US, which places Madrid, in their opinion, among the “most profitable” markets … Read more
