A survey of 1,733 high-net-worth Americans found a growing share are actively considering leaving the country. The survey respondents cite economic and political concerns as their reasons—not personal hardship, but structural concerns about the direction of the country.
The shift from casual talk to strategic planning matters. When wealthy people move past the "I could leave" stage to actually exploring it, they typically consult advisors, research tax implications, and check visa options. A survey showing this planning phase is underway suggests conversations are already happening in wealth management offices, not just at dinner tables.
