Miami and Dubai are strikingly similar: both have zero income tax and attract billionaires like Ken Griffin and Larry Page, both have man-made islands and striking architecture, and both draw huge immigrant populations. Miami's got the world's largest cruise port, a guitar-shaped hotel, and a 60% immigrant rate.
Chapters
This city looks like Dubai. It feels like Dubai. But it's not in Dubai. It's in America. Everything here reminds me of Dubai in the Middle East. First, the millionaires. Just like Dubai, this city has zero income tax. That's why thousands of millionaires and billionaires moved here. Ken Griffin, Larry Page, and Howard Schultz. Second, man-made islands like this one, completely made by humans. In the middle of the ocean, just like The Palm in Dubai. Third, crazy buildings, like a hotel that's one giant guitar. Oh my God, see that wheel? That's the Dubai Wheel. Fourth, infrastructure. Dubai has billion-dollar projects. This city does too, like the largest cruise port in the world, the infinite beaches, and the skyscrapers. And fifth, immigration. Dubai is 90% immigrants, and this city is 60% immigrants, one of the highest in America. You probably guessed it by now, but this is Miami! Miami! One of the easiest places in America to live and work and party. That's 1 minute. See you tomorrow.
