Deep taxes are not everything: where the rich want to live in Switzerland

Wealthy individuals in Switzerland, particularly those with a net worth of at least $30 million, have specific preferences when it comes to choosing a location and type of property. According to real estate experts, these Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWI) seek properties with a lakefront view, ample space, and high levels of privacy.

The most sought-after locations are in regions such as Lake Zurich, Zug, Lake Geneva, the Alps, and Ticino, with prices ranging from 10 to 50 million Swiss francs. In areas like Cologny, Küsnacht, and Wollerau, prices per square meter can reach up to 43,000, 37,000, and 35,000 francs respectively.
