They say the early bird catches the worm. And in fact, findings from our ‘Meaning of Life’ study demonstrate that HNWs who have relocated in the past ten years generally earn higher incomes than those who have remained in their home country.
On average, European HNWs who have moved abroad get paid €567k, whilst those who have never lived abroad earn approximately €424k.
But this wealth creation potential does come with a price. These international globe-trotters adopt much more of a ‘work hard’ philosophy than other HNWs, generally spending more hours in the office per week (approximately 73 hours versus the 47 spent working by non-relocaters), willingly making several sacrifices to pursue career goals.
