Singapore is still the priciest place for wealthy folks, according to a recent study. This is the third year in a row it's held this spot. The study looked at the cost of fancy stuff like cars, jewelry, and private schools in 25 big cities around the world. It also asked rich people with at least $1 million in assets what they thought.
The study was done before some big changes in the U. S. economy, so those aren't included in the numbers. Even so, the cost of living a luxurious life went down a bit. This is a big deal because usually, the prices for rich people's stuff go up twice as fast as regular prices.
Some things got cheaper, like technology. But other things, like business class flights and watches, got a lot more expensive. Even with these changes, rich people are still spending money, just not as much as before. Europe is where they're spending the least, while other places like the Middle East and Asia are seeing more growth.
