Moving beyond the stereotypes of isolated island-dwellers, this report reveals a demographic that is deeply connected, intellectually driven, and surprisingly grounded. Based on a comprehensive analysis and survey of over 1000 members across North America and Western Europe, our findings show that today’s HNWIs prioritize growth over glamour. While they command significant capital, their leisure time is dedicated to local community impact, lifelong learning, and the pursuit of "quiet luxury" through travel and culinary arts.

- Contrary to the "rocket science and private islands" trope, the most popular hobbies are strikingly relatable. Gardening and landscaping (11%) and self-improvement (23%) outrank more "cliché" hobbies like yachting or shooting.

- The "Dolce Vita" Revival: Italy has surged as a major wealth magnet in Europe (17.8%), suggesting that HNWIs are increasingly trading the industrial grind for a life centered on culture, art, and the "sweet life."

By peeling back the layers of this high-performing community, we move beyond the balance sheet to uncover the human stories, habits, and geographies that define the 21st-century elite.
2. Where the Wealth Resides
This chapter delves into the geographical distribution of millionaires and HNWIs utilizing the Luxy dating app. The insights presented are derived from a comprehensive survey conducted among over 10,000 Luxy users located across North America and Western Europe. Approximately 70% of the responses originated from individuals residing within the United States, while the remaining 30% were contributed by users based in Western European countries. We will take a look at them separately.
2.1 Geographical Hotspots in the USA
While wealth is distributed across the nation, certain states and metropolitan areas emerge as clear magnets for affluent individuals.

The Golden State Shines: California's Dominance (33.3%)
California comes first, attracting 33.3% of Luxy’s US-based HNWI respondents. This dominance is hardly surprising, given California's status as a global hub for technology, entertainment, and innovation. The state's diverse economy, coupled with its desirable climate and lifestyle, makes it an irresistible draw for those seeking both financial success and personal fulfillment.
Los Angeles and San Francisco Lead the Charge:
Within California, Los Angeles and San Francisco are the most frequently mentioned cities. Los Angeles, with its thriving entertainment industry and luxury real estate market, attracts entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives alike. San Francisco, the heart of Silicon Valley, is a magnet for tech titans and venture capitalists.
Texas: Big Wealth in the Lone Star State (12.8%)
Texas, with 12.8% of our US-based HNWI respondents, secures the second spot. The state's business-friendly environment, lack of state income tax, and booming energy sector make it an attractive destination for wealth creation and preservation.
Dallas: A Rising Star:
Dallas stands out as a prominent metropolitan area within Texas. The city's strong economy, affordable cost of living (compared to coastal cities), and growing cultural scene are attracting a new wave of affluent residents.
Sunshine and Savings: Florida's Tax Haven Appeal (11.5%)
Florida, with 11.5% of our US-based HNWI respondents, benefits from its warm climate, beautiful beaches, and favorable tax policies. The absence of state income tax, coupled with a relatively low cost of living, makes Florida a popular choice for retirees and those seeking to maximize their wealth.
Miami: A Global Playground:
Miami, with its vibrant nightlife, luxury real estate, and international flair, is a major draw for HNWIs. The city's growing financial sector and its proximity to Latin America make it a strategic location for global business.
The East Coast Contenders: New York and Pennsylvania (6.4% and 5.4% respectively)
New York (6.4%) and Pennsylvania (5.4%), while not as dominant as California, Texas, or Florida, still represent significant concentrations of wealth. New York City, as a global financial center, continues to attract high-earning professionals in finance, law, and media. Pennsylvania, with its rich history, diverse economy, and proximity to major East Coast cities, offers a more understated appeal.
The Curious Case of Nevada and Illinois (3.8% Each)
Nevada and Illinois, both accounting for 3.8% of our US-based HNWI respondents, present an interesting contrast. Nevada, with its low taxes and entertainment industry, attracts a specific type of affluent individual seeking a more unconventional lifestyle. Illinois, anchored by the city of Chicago, offers a more traditional urban environment with a strong business community and cultural institutions.
Potential Explanations for the Tie:
- Different Appeals: Nevada attracts those seeking tax advantages and a vibrant entertainment scene, while Illinois appeals to those seeking a strong business environment and cultural amenities.
- Chicago's Influence: Chicago, as a major financial hub and cultural center, likely accounts for the majority of HNWIs in Illinois.
- Data Nuances: The relatively small sample size within these states could lead to statistical fluctuations, resulting in the same percentage despite potentially different underlying factors.
The geographical distribution of HNWIs within the United States reflects a complex interplay of economic opportunities, lifestyle preferences, and tax considerations. California, Texas, and Florida emerge as the dominant states, each offering a unique blend of attractions for affluent individuals. While New York and Pennsylvania maintain their presence, the equal representation of Nevada and Illinois highlights the diverse factors that influence residential choices among the wealthy. As we delve deeper into the demographics and habits of these individuals, we will gain a more nuanced understanding of the Luxy lifestyle.
2.2. Where the Wealth Resides: Geographical Hotspots in Western Europe
A European Perspective: Unveiling Wealth Across the Atlantic
While the United States dominates our survey responses, a significant 30% of our HNWI respondents reside in Western Europe. This provides valuable insight into the distribution of wealth and lifestyle preferences across the Atlantic. While certain major cities emerge as hubs, the European landscape reveals a more nuanced pattern of affluence, with smaller towns and regions also attracting a considerable share of wealthy individuals.

The United Kingdom: London's Magnetic Pull (28.3%)
The United Kingdom leads the way in Western Europe, attracting 28.3% of our European-based HNWI respondents. This dominance is largely attributed to London's status as a global financial center, a cultural powerhouse, and a hub for international business.
- London: A Global Metropolis: London stands out as the most frequently mentioned city in Western Europe. Its concentration of financial institutions, luxury real estate, and high-end amenities makes it an irresistible draw for affluent individuals from around the world.

Italy, with 17.8% of our European-based HNWI respondents, offers a unique combination of historical charm, cultural richness, and luxurious living. The country's diverse regions, from the fashion capital of Milan to the art-filled streets of Florence, cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences.

Germany, Switzerland, and Spain: A Different Distribution (13.7%, 8.6%, and 5.2% respectively)
Germany (13.7%), Switzerland (8.6%), and Spain (5.2%) present a contrasting picture compared to the UK, Italy, and France. In these countries, HNWIs on Luxy are less concentrated in major metropolitan areas and more dispersed across smaller towns and regions.
- Germany: While cities like Munich and Frankfurt hold economic significance, Germany's wealth is distributed across a network of smaller industrial and commercial centers. This reflects the country's decentralized economic structure and its emphasis on manufacturing and engineering.
- Switzerland: Switzerland's appeal lies in its political stability, low taxes, and high quality of life. HNWIs are drawn to the country's picturesque towns and villages, particularly in the Swiss Alps and around Lake Geneva, where they can enjoy privacy, security, and access to outdoor activities.
- Spain: While cities like Madrid and Barcelona attract some affluent residents, Spain's wealth is also distributed along its coastal regions and in smaller towns with rich cultural heritage. The country's warm climate, beautiful beaches, and relaxed lifestyle make it an attractive destination for those seeking a more laid-back existence.
Potential Reasons for the Distribution:
- Historical and Economic Factors: The distribution of wealth in Western Europe is influenced by historical patterns of trade, industrial development, and political structures. Countries like the UK and France, with their colonial past and centralized governments, have historically concentrated wealth in their capital cities.
- Tax Policies and Regulations: Tax policies and regulations play a significant role in attracting or deterring HNWIs. Countries like Switzerland, with their low taxes and strict banking secrecy laws, have traditionally been havens for wealth.
- Lifestyle Preferences: Lifestyle preferences also influence residential choices. Some HNWIs prefer the hustle and bustle of major cities, while others seek the tranquility and privacy of smaller towns and rural areas.
- Cultural and Social Factors: Cultural and social factors, such as language, cuisine, and social norms, can also play a role in attracting or deterring HNWIs.
The geographical distribution of HNWIs in Western Europe reflects a complex interplay of historical, economic, political, and cultural factors. While major cities like London, Paris, Rome, and Milan continue to attract a significant share of affluent individuals, the European landscape also reveals a more nuanced pattern of affluence, with smaller towns and regions offering unique attractions for those seeking a refined and fulfilling lifestyle. This diverse distribution underscores the importance of understanding the specific factors that drive residential choices among the wealthy in different European countries.

This high percentage underscores the importance of social responsibility within this demographic.
The most prevalent category of philanthropic support, encompassing 52% of respondents, is directed towards religious organizations, poverty relief, education, and disaster aid. This suggests a strong desire among millionaires to address fundamental human needs and support institutions that provide essential services. The focus on local projects within this category is particularly noteworthy. Luxy members often volunteer their time and resources to organizations within their own communities, indicating a personal connection to the causes they support. For example, a millionaire might volunteer at a local soup kitchen, donate to a nearby homeless shelter, or contribute to a religious organization that provides community outreach programs. This hands-on approach suggests a desire to see the direct impact of their contributions.
Another significant area of philanthropic focus, representing 28% of respondents, is support for other human services, primarily addressing hunger and poverty. Similar to the previous category, these initiatives are often organized and supported locally. This highlights the importance of community-based solutions and the desire to address immediate needs within their own vicinities. The appeal of these organizations likely stems from their direct and tangible impact on individuals and families struggling with basic necessities. Millionaires may be drawn to the opportunity to provide immediate relief and contribute to improving the lives of those less fortunate in their communities.
Education also emerges as a key area of philanthropic interest, with 23% of respondents supporting educational purposes, such as initiatives that encourage youth participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. This demonstrates a forward-looking perspective and a recognition of the importance of investing in future generations. Examples of this type of philanthropy could include funding scholarships for students pursuing STEM degrees, supporting after-school programs that provide STEM education, or donating to organizations that promote STEM literacy in underserved communities. By supporting these initiatives, millionaires are contributing to the development of a skilled workforce and fostering innovation. For instance, a tech entrepreneur might establish a scholarship fund for students pursuing computer science degrees or donate equipment to a local school's robotics program. This type of giving aligns with a desire to promote long-term economic growth and opportunity.
Finally, 12% of respondents indicated that they volunteer for kids' sports activities, such as coaching or participating in other school programs. While this may seem less directly impactful than other forms of philanthropy, it highlights the importance of community involvement and supporting the development of young people.

4. Conclusion and Outlook
The findings presented in this report provide a clear window into the evolving identity of the modern millionaire. Gone are the days when HNWIs were defined solely by "conspicuous consumption" or static displays of wealth. Today’s affluent demographic, as represented by the Luxy community, is defined by mobility, intellectual curiosity, and a profound commitment to social responsibility.
4.1 Implications for the Luxury Market and Dating Industry
The data suggests a significant shift in the luxury landscape. We are moving toward an era of "Quiet Luxury" and "Experiential Affluence."
With 43% of members prioritizing travel and 29% focusing on fine dining, the luxury market must pivot from selling "things" to selling "access" and "narratives." High-end brands should focus on the story and the experience rather than the price tag.
- The Rise of Conscious Dating: In the dating industry, wealth is no longer the sole gatekeeper. The high participation in philanthropy (82%) and self-improvement (23%) indicates that HNWIs are looking for value-alignment. Users are seeking partners who don't just share a tax bracket, but who share a commitment to local community impact and lifelong learning.
- Geographical Agility: The concentration of wealth in "tax havens" like Florida and "lifestyle hubs" like Italy highlights a "digital nomad" trend among the elite. The dating industry must adapt to a user base that is frequently international, traveling frequently, requiring seamless cross-border connectivity.
4.2 What This Means for Luxy
For Luxy, these trends confirm that the platform is more than a dating app, a lifestyle ecosystem. The high concentration of millionaire users in specific “hotspots”, such as California and London, provides Luxy with a roadmap for localized engagement. Furthermore, the almost humble passions of millionaire (gardening, tennis, learning) suggests that Luxy should continue to focus on authenticity and shared passions rather than just exclusive images.
As we look toward the 2030s, the Luxury Lifestyle will be defined by the impact a person leaves on the world, not just the assets they accrue. Luxy is uniquely positioned to be the premier architect of these high-value connections. By fostering an environment where wealth meets purpose, Luxy will continue to attract the world’s most influential individuals, ensuring that for its users, the best is always yet to come.
