Rich people’s estate agency Knight Frank and rich people’s bank Citi Private Bank have put out a report into what HNWI (High Net Worth Individuals, or “rich people”) think of different cities across the globe.

“We asked respondents to rank the most important global and regional cities to HNWIs now and in 10 years, and to pinpoint those growing most quickly in importance. We also asked them to rank cities in terms of economic activity, political power, quality of life, and knowledge and influence. London took the pole position in almost every category.”

Here are rich people’s top 10 cities.

1 London
2 New York
3 Hong Kong
4 Paris
5 Singapore
6 Miami
7 Geneva
8 Shanghai
9 Beijing
10 Berlin
