Famous places in the 'sights' of the super-rich

During the peak holiday months, countless rich people flock to the coastal or mountain towns where they have bought themselves a second home to serve the needs of tourism.

The coastal resort of The Hamptons (New York, USA) is a good example of a collection of villages inhabited by wealthy people. Year-round, this community is home to 25 residents with over $100 million in assets. Even in the summer, that number skyrockets to 700, according to the latest wealth report from consulting firm Henley & Partners (London).

The report also indicates that there are currently 9,630 “dollar millionaires” living in the US. Based on data provided by New World Wealth, Henley & Partners listed 27 places that are most loved by the wealthy for long-term vacations. From seaside towns in California and Portugal to mountain resorts in Switzerland and Colorado, this is where dollar millionaires are looking for a second home.
