Last month Jeff Bezos settled on this ninety MILLION dollar [$90,000,000] mansion on Indian Creek Island in Miami. That is the THIRD eight figure property purchase the Amazon founder has made in Miami in just the last 12 months. But the billionaire migration to Florida is making even Jeff's two hundred million dollar portfolio of properties look downright modest. According to the New York Post, Citadel Securities CEO Ken Griffin has purchased SEVENTEEN oceanfront estates, some worth as much as a hundred million [$100,000,000] individually.

He is now knocking them all over to make way for one for one single beach house for his retirement, that is estimated to be worth more than a billion dollars once complete. None of these billionaires are native Florida men, but it’s not the sand and the sun that’s bringing them down there. So why are billionaires scrambling to get into Florida all of a sudden? While other parts of the country are cracking down on billionaires and their extravagant lifestyles, Florida is trying to make itself the perfect hideaway for them and their money.

According to the LA Times the Mayor of Miami actually personally courted Elon Musk encouraging him to move his primary residence and businesses to the city. South Florida WANTS to be the perfect place for you to live… IF you're extremely wealthy. Miami has always been a popular destination for the ultra wealthy to spend their summer vacations. According to data collected in a study by the global wealth management firm Henley and Partners, and compiled by Visual Capitalists, Miami is the most popular vacation destination for the world's twenty five thousand [25,000] Centi-Millionaires.

Those are people with a net worth of one hundred million dollars or more… In the past most of these ultra high net worth individuals would return back to their REAL jobs in REAL cities like Seattle, New York, San Fran or LA. BUT NOW they are moving to Miami for good, and they are doing it for three surprising reasons.

The first reason is that Florida is a safe haven for wealth.

But using Florida as an asset bunker is just the first reason, so it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why so many Billionaires are desperately rushing to make Florida their home.
