Schiff Sovereign's Take on Monaco
Monaco is one of the wealthiest places per square centimeter in the world.

It is also one of Europe's only tax havens, and attracts extreme wealth. Which probably means that if you’re not a very high net worth individual, it may not be the greatest place to live.

But if you are swimming in money, then Monaco offers a premium lifestyle (albeit at a premium cost). 

You’ll pay around 8 million euros to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in a luxury building, where your neighbors may be Chinese billionaires or movie stars.

But if you can afford Monaco, we explain how to become a resident there in this premium report.
